Aidan
King's College LondonWar Studies and HistoryI come from the Home Counties, in England, having gone to a state school in Hertfordshire. Though my passions are primarily in the field of history, particularly to do with Luxembourg and Finland, though I do also enjoy wargaming and walking as well. My plans for the future are probably going to be something to do with policing, teaching or public policy related. Benjamina Efua

University of SouthamptonEnglish and HistoryHi I’m Chloe! I’m a 3rd year English and History student at Southampton University. I’m the first person in my immediate family to go to uni and I have moved away from home to study here. I love reading fiction novels and enjoy going swimming and cooking in my spare time. I’m looking forward to answering any questions you have about university and provide some tips that I have learned from my experience 😊 Devin
Birkbeck, University of LondonHistoryHello! I’m Devin, and I’m currently in my second year of History BA after completing my foundation year at Birkbeck. I came to Uni seven years after struggling to complete my A-levels and had always preciously assumed higher education was an option that was closed off to me. I chose to come to Birkbeck as there are countless students like me who had a “non-traditional” path through education but have not let our experiences hold us back. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Evie
Durham UniversityBA History (V100)Hi i´m Evie!! I´ve just completed my first year at Durham studying History.

University of ReadingBA Ancient HistoryI'm aiming to work in the Heritage sector (Stonehenge would be ideal haha)! I love all things ancient women and ancient warfare related. Shipwrecks are another passion of mine, especially the ones from ancient Greece. Harriet
University of Wales Trinity Saint DavidHistory (BA)Hi, I am Harriet, a second year History student at the University of Wales Trinity St David. I am a keen historian who is primarily interested in early modern history, particularly empires, royalty and gender studies. Outside of my interest in history I am very much interested in fashion, makeup, The Sims franchise and food. Alongside this I am also a keen traveller and love to go on holidays, whether in the UK or abroad and learn about new places and cultures! On my bucket list at the moment is to go to Rome and the Holy See, as well as Kensington Palace, the childhood home of Queen Victoria! After University, I am planning on going into teaching with the aim of becoming a History and Politics teacher at Secondary School and/or Sixth Form/College. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about studying at UWTSD or are interested in studying History at any university! 😊 Irene

King's College LondonHistoryHi! My name is Izzy and I am currently a first year history student. I wanted to study at King's because London was close to home and has so many opportunities - both academic and social. I am very interested in modern history but have very much enjoyed studying medieval and early modern history too in first year. After studying, I would like to go into teaching or journalism. Feel free to ask me any questions, such as about the course, accommodation, social life, societies and making friends :) Matthew
University of EssexHistoryHello, my name is Matt, and I am a 3rd year History student at the University of Essex! My aim for the future is to work in intelligence analysis (more interesting than it sounds I promise). I have a strong passion for music and love live music and performances. In my spare time, I am also teaching myself coding and cybersecurity in order to supplement my love of technology. My love for History comes from my interest in my family history and also Horrible Histories (something a lot of people can relate to!) Please message me with any questions you may have about student life or History at the University of Essex!
