Student Ffion W. Chemistry Foundation A foundation year will help you transition to studying away from home while strengthening your knowledge and preparing you for your first year.
Student Olivia International Business Management with Placement BSc (Hons) I completed my Professional Training placement at Performance Communications in Kingston and it was one of the best experiences I've had during my time at university ... From working on real campaigns to attending client meetings and managing deadlines, it was such a valuable experience. I gained confidence in my skills and really grew as a person.
Student Talha N. Chemistry MChem The best thing about my course is the opportunity to apply and transfer the theoretical background of what we learn in our lectures to the laboratory every week. The skills we learn in the laboratory alone are incredibly useful as we learn not only skills for chemistry, but also professional development skills like teamwork, data analysis and more.
Student Michael Business Management with Marketing BSc (Hons) I never planned to do a placement year or study abroad, but in my third year I did both. It was an awesome experience! I studied at Northern Arizona University. This was one of the best experiences in my life. Doing a placement in the UK also significantly helped me develop professionally: developing new skills, networking and having significant responsibilities.
Student Abigail S. Environmental and Sustainability BSc (Hons) One aspect I love about the Environment and Sustainability course is the multidisciplinary topics connecting science, policies, and everyday behaviours. It teaches not only about actionable change but also complex Earth systems.
Student Niamh Veterinary Biosciences BSc I worked for the reptile department at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park on placement. I was responsible for many of the daily chores and management of the animals, from cleaning the enclosures to checking health and preparing food!
Graduate Jonny Psychology BSc (Hons) Someone told me early on that if I didn’t achieve a first on my degree that I shouldn’t try to be a clinical psychologist. Well, I didn’t get a first and here I am!
Student Jason Media and Communication BSc (Hons) I'm so glad I chose this programme after lots of research. The department really lives up to its reputation and everyone has been so helpful and supportive in helping me improve week-by-week. The course is really well thought out and comprehensive too, so you're well prepared as you develop your knowledge and skills. The rose tinted glasses are well and truly off now when I consume media!
Student Amie Politics and Sociology BSc (Hons) All of the lecturers are so passionate about what they teach, it's infectious. My teachers are more than happy to have a chat about the course content. I feel I'm able to say what I'm thinking, and I am greatly encouraged. Some of my best lessons have come from this course - from how to progress academically to how to trust myself and push my confidence further.
