There are many ways to receive support throughout university. For me personally, I have been supported financially with bursaries, mentally with therapy sessions and academically with tutors and other staff/students. If you require help, there will be ways to access it.
I completed a placement year as an English Language Teaching Assistant in Spain which I loved. While my placement was not directly relevant to my degree, the transferable skills and my overall experience was so rewarding and worthwhile.
I have applied for a Masters degree to convert to Law so I can apply what I have learned from my degree and apply that to becoming a solicitor specialising in Human Rights Law, Prison/er Rights and Reform, or Public Law. My degree will support this because I would not have decided to go into law otherwise, I want to defend and fight for the rights of those that need help and protection.
