I loved how adaptable and flexible my course is, so I was never limited to options in politics and international relations – for example, I took a French module and a social sciences module. I essentially constructed my degree so I can study the subjects I’m most interested in.

My favourite module was Approaches to International Relations in first year. The lecturer made everyone feel comfortable and was very approachable which was helpful as I felt I could ask any question no matter how silly. The teaching quality and facilities were both outstanding, especially the library – the resources and study spaces provided were so beneficial especially during exam season.

Having a personal tutor that stayed with you throughout your time at university was very beneficial for me. Whenever I’ve had any troubles, I had a dedicated member of staff that knows me well and can help me or direct me to other services provided by the University.
