Studying at Â鶹´«Ã½
Why did you choose to study at Â鶹´«Ã½?
I’m from near Brighton so wanted to move away from home! My dad went to Â鶹´«Ã½, so I’ve always thought quite highly of it.
How do you think your course prepared you for your chosen career?
I think the analytical/research skills that I learned in history were invaluable in my early career - and I think these could translate to whatever field people choose to go into.
What did you enjoy most about your time at Â鶹´«Ã½?
For me it was the social life - I met loads of great friends who I’m still in close contact with now. Alongside my 2nd and 3rd year modules - particularly reading and writing history.
Please describe your time at Â鶹´«Ã½ in three words:
Unforgettable, formative, friendship
