Art
“Art Practice is an expressive and enjoyable course, yet challenges you artistically, forcing you to mature with your work.”
Community Regeneration
“As my work impacts on local communities, I felt strongly that I should develop a better understanding of what impact changes can have on communities.”
Criminology
“One module involved doing a risk assessment in your own home, highlighting areas that could leave you open to theft and looking at ways to avoid being a victim of crime.”
Early Years, Childhood and Adolescence
“The work placements to local schools were really enjoyable. I gained so many skills such as supporting pupils through activities and learning about teaching techniques.”
Education and Careers
“Three different work placements gave me a lot of the knowledge, skills and experience needed to enter the profession with pride and self-confidence.”
English and Creative Writing
“Writing creatively is the best feeling in the world. If you have a passion for writing, then having the excuse to write in order to gain a degree means you are one lucky person.”
History
“I chose history because I was good at it at school and always enjoyed it. So much so that I’m already planning my Masters.”
Languages
“The way in which the English language works has always fascinated me. I love learning how and why we use language in the way we do.”
Law
“Criminal law teaches you all about the gritty side of the law, whereas contract law makes you think about simple things in life such as purchasing a bottle of water.”
Psychology
“Psychology is a unique subject; rather than just being taught facts and figures you are taught how to question things and not accept things at face value.”
Public Services
“In order to make changes, one must first understand how things currently work in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the world.”
Sociology
“To do well in sociology you need to have an open mind and not always want a definite answer. There are so many different theories so there’s never a right or wrong answer.”
