Our Alumni

Abigail studied Computer Science at UA92, graduating in 2025 and going on to secure a role at the Bank of New York as an Engineering Analyst.

“I’ve always enjoyed problem-solving and learning new things, which led me to pursue higher education and a professional career where collaboration, communication, and adaptability are key. My time at UA92 helped me build confidence, develop strong interpersonal skills through being a student representative, and prepare for life beyond education. I’m the first in my family to go into higher education, and I’m passionate about encouraging others to believe in their potential and take up space in any field they’re interested in.”

Almira studied Accounting and Business at UA92, graduating in 2024 and securing a role as a Future Talent Trainee at Tesla.

“I left Rochdale Sixth Form College in 2022, going straight in an Accelerated Accounting and Business degree at UA92. I chose an Accelerated course so that I could get into the world of work quicker, completing my studies in 2024. I now work as a Future Talent Trainee at Tesla, working across sales, service and delivery.”

Dan works as an Academy Physical Performance Coach at Manchester City. He studied Sports and Exercise Science at UA92, before pursuing a master’s degree in Strength and Conditioning

“Before I came to UA92, I actually wanted to do an apprenticeship because I was eager to start working straight away and be more hands-on instead of being sat in a lecture theatre all day. When I heard about UA92 and its whole approach, I liked the sound of it and decided to apply. To this day, I believe that choosing UA92 instead of my apprenticeship was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I learned so much whilst I was at UA92, but I think that the character and personal development was my biggest takeaway. It’s helped set me apart from the crowd and given me confidence in interviews and meetings, which I know puts me in a stronger position. If I was going to give a student looking to start their next steps some advice, I would say take every opportunity you’re given. It sounds cliché, but you genuinely never know when a conversation or meeting with someone can lead to an opportunity or even put you in the same room with someone who can help your journey.”

Emily went on to do a Masters’ degree in Journalism and is currently teaching English in Suzhou, China and focusing on her music career in her free time.  

“In April, I was invited to the BBC Radio Nottingham studio by Dean Jackson to discuss my song “City Nights.” The confidence I now have to speak on the radio is thanks to the presentation-based assignments at UA92. These experiences prepared me for public speaking, a crucial aspect of my music career. UA92 not only provided me with degree-specific skills but also transferable ones, enhancing my confidence and belief in my abilities.”

Harry works as a Social Media Assistant at Relentless Group, after graduating from UA92 with a degree in Sports Journalism in 2024.

Since graduating, I’ve come full circle and now work as a Social Media Assistant at Relentless Group, working on projects with Gary like The Overlap and Salford City FC. This role was a long-term goal of mine and stepping into it felt like a dream come true.”

Huma currently works as a Marketing Executive at Leigh Day, after graduating from UA92 with a degree in Business Studies.

When I graduated, I went on to work as a Marketing and Business Development Executive at Gately, one of UA92’s partners. Now I work as a Marketing Executive at Leigh Day. Looking back now, I realise I’ve come such a long way. I have so much more confidence now and I overcame my fear of public speaking. I have clear goals and I know what I want to achieve. I would say to anyone considering coming to UA92, you can do it! Even if you doubt yourself in the beginning, there is so much help and support available. It’s the best place to study in Manchester!”

Louie graduated from UA92 in 2025 with a degree in Sports Journalism, before going on to secure a role as a Social Media Manager at Greater Manchester Wellbeing Series, whilst studying for his NCTJ, continuing to build on the foundation UA92 helped him create.

“My journey into higher education wasn’t something I always imagined for myself. After studying at Pendleton College, I went on to study Sports Journalism at UA92, a decision that completely changed my confidence, mindset, and ambitions.

When I first arrived at UA92, I was quiet, shy, and hesitant to put myself forward. Over time, the supportive and personal environment helped me grow, not just academically, but personally. UA92 gave me the space to find my voice, build confidence, and believe in myself. Along the way, I gained hands-on experience, formed lifelong friendships, and created memories I’ll always look back on, both inside and outside the classroom.

I chose UA92 because it felt different to a traditional university. The close support from lecturers, the industry insight from partners, and the emphasis on real-world experience prepared me for life beyond education and gave me the confidence to take the next step.
Looking back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, from someone who once doubted whether university was for them, to someone ready for the next chapter. My journey is just getting started, and I’m excited to see where it leads next.”

Matt is now an Analyst at 3vrm, helping organisations to manage risk through their 3^rd party supply chain and vendor relationships. 

“I was told at a young  age that I wasn’t “academic”, I dropped out of college due to lack of interest, and then made a living talking. I left a job I was pretty good at to go and do something completely different and study Computer Science at UA92. Computer science was something I wanted to do, and maybe equally as important, I wanted to PROVE that I could do. I did alright on that final point in the end!?”

Michael graduated from UA92 in 2023 with a degree in Sports Management. Now, he works as an Email and Marketing Executive at SportsBreaks.

“Whilst I was at college, I never thought I’d go to university, but I’m so glad I did. At UA92, I made friends for life, connected with some incredible people from my industry and beyond, and was taught by lecturers who believed in me and helped me to achieve my goals. After graduation, I secured a Marketing and Design Internship through UA92 with Lancashire Cricket Club, moving on to become a Marketing Executive at Cruyff, before landing my current position, where I help run successful email campaigns for the business in all areas of sport. I’m so thankful for the time I had at UA92 and the lessons I learnt along the way.”

Millie was part of UA92’s first graduating cohort. She studied Media and Communications and is now working as the Brand Lead at UA92.

“I stayed at UA92 as I am passionate about challenging the norm and creating different and impactful brand work that resonates with different audiences. I want students to have the same incredible experience that I had.”

Asila is now a Social Media Designer in Kuala Lumpur, where she creates social media content for clients in the beauty and lifestyle industry.

From my 3 years in UA92, I have not just aced my academics but also developed my soft skills which was one of the key factors that stood me out from the other fresh graduates when I was looking for a job.”
