Hello there, I hope your day felt blessed. If not, there's this open secret that when you look into the mirror, a worthy person is looking back :).
There's so many things I would like to learn and try out: versality is important to me. And I understand that sometimes, having supportive and educative guidance is key and can go a long way. In that regards, allow me to introduce myself. I'll do my utmost to aid your curiousity, confusions and any relevant enquires, and perhaps I could also learn from you.
Reuben
Durham University
BA History (V100)
I come from the town of West Bridgford outside Nottingham in the East Midlands. I am half Indian, quarter Welsh, quarter German. I attended a state school, studying Law, Economics and History for A Level. My passion for all things history led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in it at Durham University. I'm currently undecided as to my career plans, but I'm considering either going into academia, the civil service, or journalism.
Sam
Coventry University
History BA (Hons)
I am a current undergraduate second-year history student at Coventry University who is keen to harness the opportunities offered by my course to develop the transferable skills I require to perform to the best of my ability in the world of work. As a member of the Coventry University History Society, I value the opportunity to build connections, socialise with people inside and outside my course, and build up my knowledge and experience in my subject. I regularly search for new interests to broaden my experiences in outdoor and sports activities, including hiking, running, cycling and swimming, which are particularly enjoyable for me. Upon completing my course, I plan to apply for jobs in areas of interest or a graduate scheme. I am interested in a career in civil service, particularly in foreign relations, so my history course provides the perfect opportunity to build on my critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which would be essential for this career path.

History
After a previous career in Social Housing and third sector organisations, I decided to complete a BA in History. I had put my children through university and thought it was my turn to have a go. I live off campus and still work part time (bank) to fit in with my studies.
Sophie
University of Lincoln
History - BA (Hons)
Hi! I am Sophie and I am currently studying History at the University of Lincoln. I have always had a particular interest in History as I have always loved to read. I would love a career in the publishing industry as the opportunity to work with books is my absolute dream! I also love to travel, especially to Greece which is my favourite place in the world! Everything from the villages to the food is my absolute favourite. I also love to cook and bake whenever I get the opportunity, especially whilst listening to Taylor Swift. University has been a wonderful experience for me and I would love to help anyone looking to follow the same path :)
Tre
Brunel University of London
History
Hello, my name is Tre, I am a home student living in accommodation on campus, and I am studying Military and International History. The reason for my choice in degree is due to it being related to my personal interests, family history and aligns with my intentions to join the RAF once I have finished university at Brunel. Alongside my degree I am a member of Brunel's target shooting club and take German language lessons, and hoping to spend my 2nd year studying abroad.
If you have any questions relating to university, studying at Brunel or history courses offered by Brunel, I am happy to help in any way I can.
Anastasiia
University of Essex
Art History
I am a 28 y.o. PhD student with a background in Museum Studies (St Petersburg State University of Culture) and Curatorial Research (St Petersburg State University). My PhD is sponsored by Essex's Human Rights Centre. I'm here to help you start your academic journey with the UoE.
Ask me anything about PGR studies at Essex (especially PHAIS), financial support for international students, accommodation, life on and off campus (especially cultural events, e.g. museums, theatres, etc.) and what it's like to live in the UK/Colchester (e.g. what's there for people from my (and probably yours!) part of the globe, such as where we celebrate Orthodox Easter!).
Fun facts about me: travelled to 30+ countries; have a cute little chinchilla named Pyshka 🍩; learnt that all stereotypes about British weather are true yet still enjoy it here.

Hello! My name is Filsan and I am a 3rd year student at City studying History and Politics!

I’m from a small seaside town in north Cornwall. I have always enjoyed the academic scene, with my focus being in history and an interest in literature which I did as an A-level along with history and philosophy. My passion for history was cultivated from primary education and I have continued it since. In my spare time I enjoy exercise and socialising with my peers.
