I think it’s also really beneficial that lecturers give courses on that’s relevant to their own research, as I find it’s a lot easier to engage with a course when the lecturers are enthusiastic about what they’re teaching.

For me personally, the office hours put on by lecturers have been extremely helpful.  Be able to further discuss assignments and course content with lecturers outside of the classroom has definitely been beneficial to my learning and my grades.

Career-wise, I hope ultimately to work in counterterrorism or a similar sector of government. As for my degree relates to this, not only has it allowed to me to study relevant modules and content, but it has also helped me to build the relevant skills such as carrying out in-depth research and critically analysing content.
