Hear from our students
I chose to study Psychology as I have an interest in helping promote the wellbeing of marginalised populations. I really enjoy getting to interact with my lecturers and tutors in each of my subjects, as they often work in the area of psychology.

I chose Mineral Resource as my placement as I wanted to see where an ESS degree could be used in areas other than sports or pre-employment checks. I would recommend this experience to future students as it’s a good way to gain practical experience.

This is the start of something big
My lecturers and tutors have taught me so much in their respective fields, it’s made it hard to decide which field of physiotherapy I want to pursue. They’ve also been very supportive throughout my degree.
