After 15 years of service in the armed forces, James Moore made the bold decision to change the course of his life.
He graduates with First Class Honours in BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy as a mature student. Having completed five tours of Afghanistan, James is now setting his sights on further education.
He has applied to enrol on a non-medical prescribing course, which will equip him with the knowledge, skills, and training to prescribe safely and competently. Looking ahead, he’s even considering a future as a university lecturer.
James said: “I was really impressed with how much the university values mature students and recognises that life experience can be just as valuable, if not more so, than GCSEs or A-Levels.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every moment of university life. The course offered a great balance of theory, clinical skills, and placements.
“I particularly appreciated the variety of clinical placements, which included the NHS, professional sport, a student-led clinic, and private practice. My lecturers, Jess, Gosia, Sophie, Katie, Brandon, and Troy have been outstanding - always available for guidance and support.
“I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication and encouragement throughout my journey.” Reflecting on his time at the University of Wolverhampton, James added: “Studying here has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
“During my time at university, I’ve experienced several major life milestones - buying a new home, getting married, and welcoming our first child. I’ll never forget it, and I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.”
