What we mean when we say “believe in different”

You may have noticed that we say ’believe in different’ quite a lot. But you might be wondering: what does it mean. Is it just a mission statement or a slogan?

In short…no! Believing in different will be at the heart of your experience every single day from when you apply to study with us right through to after you graduate. To give you a flavour of what that looks like we asked our team and our students what it means to them.

Why do the people of UCEN Manchester believe in different?

Katy Rushton, Course Leader for Animation Industry, said: “I believe in different because students need to develop the skills they need for life in their own way.”

Annette McCone, Head of Student Advice, Support and Wellbeing at UCEN Manchester, added: “We’re not all the same, so it’s important that when you come to UCEN, you get the opportunity to be celebrated for your individuality.”

Omair Usman, an Acting student at UCEN Manchester, added: “For me, UCEN celebrates diversity. There are a lot of unique people that make it such a fun place to learn.”
