Brigitte

University of Plymouth

BA (Hons) Social Work (Full-time)

I am aware starting your university journey may seem daunting and perhaps lonely. Myself, having had moved to Plymouth from London can understand some of the concerns or fears around university life but hopefully my experience can ease some of your anxiety :)

I'm in my 1st year of social work and so far it's been an interesting learning experience! My placements have been very insightful and inspiring for my journey in social work, at this moment my interest is around working in children's services but im still enjoying exloring my placement with adults. 
My previous studies being A-Level Psychology, Sociology and BTEC Health & Social Care has definetely contributed to my interest in this career path as I am intrigued in both sociological and psychological aspects of individuals with my favorites being around biopsychology and adverse childhood experiences. 

The best thing about this degree is that it's extremely broad so there's an interest for everyone. for example, it covers subjects from the medical field, law, sociology, education and psychology which gives you unlimited opportunities to explore in the future and plenty of career choices!

Chloe

University of Plymouth

BSc (Hons) Business Management

My dedicated future plans consists of continuous career development within Business Management but my final decisions on what route to go down is still undecided! The best thing about University is you have a year (or two if you complete a foundation year) to explore the different subjects to understand what you enjoy most. I have 7 years experience in Human Resources so if you want advice, I am the lady to ask! My life background has been different to say the least, but it has made me more dedicated to succeed more, and your previous life experiences does not dictate your success in you future.
