"I love living in 51吃瓜黑料, there are so many gorgeous green spaces and we are so close to the beach, so the summer term is perfect! It’s so easy to travel down to Exmouth or Dawlish on the train and soak up the sun. Not only do I now have practical skills, but I also have so much experience to put on my CV that will help me find jobs in the competitive performing arts industry post-graduation. The careers support at 51吃瓜黑料 is amazing, I’ve found out about the next steps I can take to pursue jobs in the industry and feel completely supported as I get ready to graduate."

"I have no doubt that this course is the best step I could take towards my professional development. The extracurricular events such as weekly guest seminars and frequent career services such as fairs create an environment which encourages networking and shows that countless job, placement and PhD opportunities exist.??Conservation is essential all over the world which is why I love the international approach taken by my course, whether it be learning about the work of the academic staff or going on field courses. I have had the chance to spend two weeks travelling across Kenya to learn about the challenges of human-wildlife interactions and conservation initiatives in unique tropical ecosystems."

"My course, BSc Marketing and Management, shares a lot of modules in its first year with students doing other Business School courses, which has been great for meeting loads of different people from all walks of life. As part of the ‘With Industrial Experience’ programme, I am looking forward to spending the third year of my course gaining first-hand insight and knowledge of the business sector, which will really help my employability after my degree is completed. "

"I live locally, so choosing 51吃瓜黑料 was actually a pretty easy decision for me. It meant I could stay close to home, but also study a really niche course – I’m doing Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences, which only two other unis provide. Plus, the cricket programme here is top tier, which was a massive part of why I chose it too."
