BSc (Hons) Psychology with Criminology and Criminal Justice
My name is Kirsty, and I'm a 23-year-old third year student pursuing a degree in Psychology with Criminology and Criminal Justice. I've previously worked as a qualified childcare practitioner.
My interests lie in understanding human behavior, and in my free time, I enjoy reading, working out, and having fun.
I'm currently learning Spanish and Welsh, and I'm also a young carer for my grandmother. If anyone else is in a similar situation, I'd be happy to share my experiences, especially if they're trying to attend university while caring for someone. As a local student, I commute to the University, and I also have dyslexia, which makes it challenging to understand coursework. However, I've developed practical techniques to overcome these hurdles and am willing to share them with anyone who might benefit.
After completing my degree, I plan to pursue a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and eventually become a lecturer in South Wales.

Criminology with Psychology, BSc (Hons)
I’m currently studying Criminology with Psychology and hope to pursue a career as either a child therapist or a social worker. I’m passionate about understanding behaviour, mental health, and the social factors that shape people’s lives, especially in relation to children and vulnerable communities. After completing my undergraduate degree, I plan to continue my studies with a master’s to further develop my skills and knowledge.
Growing up in England with Pakistani parents has given me a strong appreciation for cultural identity, resilience, and the importance of representation in care and support services. I’m motivated by the idea of making a meaningful difference and creating safe, supportive spaces for those who need it most.
