THERE’S still time to make a new year resolution to look into ways of changing your career path. One way to do it is by studying something new, and Cumbria’s new university has many courses available.

The university offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in subjects including health, art, business, sport, outdoor studies, midwifery and drama.

There are opportunities throughout the year to visit the university’s campuses, ask questions of tutors and tours of the facilities will be available.

New year can be the catalyst for many people to enter or return to education, and the university can offer opportunities to help them realise their ambitions.

For example, sport studies can offer a route into a fulfilling career promoting fitness and health, working in an exciting and growing industry.

If you’ve always wanted to start your own business but didn’t know where to begin, the university offers qualifications in business skills that will give you all the knowledge you’ll need.

If you are interested in the caring professions you can study nursing, midwifery and related health qualifications; and if you are interested in the arts, you can have the opportunity to learn from professional artists and writers, develop your talents and learn how to build a career with them.
