Brigitte
University of PlymouthBA (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! -

Charlotte
University of PlymouthMA EducationAfter graduating from my BA (hons) Education Studies degree in 2021, I went straight on to the MA Education course with the aim of networking and expanding my knowledge in regards to alternative education and outdoor learning- with a focus on England's secondary schooling system. As I am studying part-time, I have been able to secure a job in the inclusion department of a South West secondary school which has enabled me to critically examine and apply the knowledge I have gained into my practice, whilst becoming more aware of the struggles and barriers in contemporary education. Although I am still exploring and navigating my way through career possibilities, my ambition is to utilise my passion for an alternative schooling system in whichever form that may take. -

Jackson
University of PlymouthBA (Hons) ArchitectureAfter studying Maths, Geography and Product Design at A-Level I decided to explore the path of Architecture. Throughout my current studies my perception of the subject is constantly shifting but I continue to enjoy the degree more and more. The course embraces creativity within a challenging but exciting field. After graduating I hope to travel and experience different cultures to help inform some of my future work within the industry... But for now I am going to continue to enjoy the social side of university and everything that the student city of Plymouth has to offer.
Bristol
Tucked between Somerset and Gloucestershire, many forget that Bristol is both a city – known for its alternative and creative culture – and its own county.
Well connected to Wales, Cornwall, London and Birmingham, Bristol combines plenty of styles, architecture and music – plus the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge over Avon Gorge.
Cornwall
With over 300 miles of coastline, you'll be dazzled by Cornwall’s magnificent beaches, dramatic cliffs, winding roads and Bronze Age remains.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite on the waves or in the hills, there are plenty of tasty local treats too – from Cornish pasties, to fudge and ice cream.
Devon
Life moves at a gentle pace in most of these parts, with small seaside towns scattered across its two delightful coastlines.
Meanwhile, its two biggest cities, Plymouth and Exeter, have all the bustle, nightlife and shopping you could want.
Dorset
Just under half of Dorset is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the captivating Jurassic Coast is England’s only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretching almost 100 miles.
It’s no wonder Dorset has inspired authors, filmmakers, and tourists alike – with Bournemouth a popular destination for students and beach enthusiasts.
Gloucestershire
Many consider Gloucestershire to offer the quintessential English experience. You'll find Cheltenham’s rows of white regency architecture, Gloucester's splendid Cathedral and docks, and many a cute village in The Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
A big festival county – including Cheltenham's world-famous Literature, Science and Jazz Festivals – Gloucestershire's also home to the intelligence agency, GCHQ.
Somerset
Largely rural, with a small population for its size, Somerset’s main centre is Bath – a popular student city and a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its preserved Roman baths and Georgian architecture.
Plus, many believe Cadbury Castle to be the fabled Camelot of King Arthur.
Wiltshire
Rural Wiltshire has some intriguing landmarks, most notably the incredible Stonehenge. Attracting over a million visitors every year, the prehistoric monument has baffled experts.
Lesser known are Wiltshire’s White Horses, carved in the rolling hills across the county.
