Izzie

Southampton Solent University

BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy

Hi my name is Izzie! I am currently in my second year of university at Southampton Solent and I am studying BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy. I am eager to learn more about my course each day and advance my knowledge! I previously finished my A levels and wanted to pursue a career in the sports. I love playing hockey and during sixth form I played for my school team and also played for my home town, therefore I decided to carry on playing and now play for the Women's Hockey team here at Solent. It's so interesting to see a different dynamic of playing depending on what teams you are playing for. Outside of sports, I love baking as well as going for long walks in the countryside, to help me relax when I might be feeling stressed.

Jacqui

University of Northampton

Bsc Psychology

I am 50 years of age, originally from Glasgow in Scotland and left school in 1989, with 8 O' Grades (GCSE’s) and 5 Higher (A Levels). Desperate for a new adventure and to start working and earning, I applied for a job in Television Production in London. 
I successfully worked for an independent company in Soho, initially as a Production Runner, progressing finally to Production Manager. I returned to Glasgow for a year, to work for BBC Scotland as Production Manager, before taking time out to travel in 1999. 
I travelled throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and America for 2 years.
On return, I moved to Brighton, East Sussex where I worked for American Express, a lifestyle magazine called Venus, and as a volunteer for the Brighton Unemployed Family project, between 2001 and 2012.
Brighton is where I met my husband and went on to have two children, a girl, and a boy. Ava who is now 15 years old and Lochlan who is 13.

8 years ago, my Husbands job transferred to their other site near Leamington, bringing the family to the midlands. We now live in the village of Weedon, a half-hour drive, west of Northampton. 
Since living in Weedon I have completed 7 years working in primary education. I began working in Special Needs as a 1:1 and in my 5th year at Weedon Primary, I completed an HLTA course through Northampton University, qualifying me to teach years 1 to 6 in primary school.
I have trained in Autism, Attachment Disorder, Dyslexia, Speech, and language among others.  I ran nurture groups and introduced a kinaesthetic approach to a lot of my teaching, after researching its efficacy in primary schools.
During my school career, I have been fascinated by how children learn. Some by doing, others by seeing. I have come to love the continual questions from children and the challenge and adventure of not always knowing the answers.
Throughout my working life, I have loved interacting with people, obsessing over human behaviour and how the mind works and influences decisions. My favourite literature often tackles aspects of psychology and I find it an extremely exciting and alluring subject.
Throughout the lockdown period, it became apparent that I was not fully satisfied with my career and felt I was ready to learn and take on a new challenge. 
My initial thought was to go into Educational Psychology but with more investigation, I decided it was time to move away from education and start something new. My next thought was counselling, which I am still very much keen on exploring and could see a possible future career. As a volunteer in Brighton Unemployed Centre Family Project, I assisted low-income families and homeless people, realising my ability to listen sensitively and offer solace.
Completing a course for the British College of Journalism a few years ago, I gained skills in reporting and analysing as well as fuelling my curiosity in psychology. I wrote articles on social, biological, and cognitive psychology. From a piece on music and memory to another on psychology in pain management. 
Having completed a year of the single honours psychology course I now feel the career direction I want to go into is counselling psychology. I have recently secured a part-time job locally with the group of Northampton psychiatric hospitals (NHFT) and ideally, would love to complete my master's within the NHS but if not I will probably stay at the University of Northampton to complete my master's in counselling.

James

Bournemouth University

BA (Hons) Media Production

I am a (by definition only) mature student studying Media Production. I spent my career in retail and hospitality. I lived in New Zealand for three years running a hotel/hot pool resort in a remote part of the South Island. I returned to England just before the pandemic took hold, reflecting on what direction I wanted my life to go in, I made the decision to follow my passions and applied to University. 
Bournemouth University is amazing! I have already been granted so many opportunites, and it is one of the most inclusive environments I have evert been a part of. 

James

University of Lincoln

Media (including by practice) - MPhil/PhD

Over the past 9 years, I've been deeply involved in performing arts, where I've explored theatre, dance, and singing. These experiences have taught me a lot about expressing myself and have built my confidence a lot.

Now, I'm excited to explore the world of media and acting in the future. I'm drawn to the idea of bringing characters to life on screen and telling stories in new ways. Combining my background in performing arts with this new adventure feels like the perfect next step. Whilst studying I have also gained an extra passion for radio which has broadened my skillset, and my course has really allowed me to hone my skills and a whole bunch of new ones. Along with all this I have met a lot of amazing people and been very comfortable studying.

Jamie

City, University of London

Aeronautical Engineering MEng (Hons)

My dream job is to be a pilot, although before I start flight school, I decided to get a degree in a similar field (aeronautical engineering). I really enjoy the course as one of my hobbies is researching planes and aviation photography, so learning the mechanics of flight is very interesting!

Janelle

University of Surrey

International Hospitality and Tourism Management BSc (Hons)

Hi! My name is Janelle and I am a final year student studying International Hospitality and Tourism Management (BSc). What I enjoy most about this course has to be experience sharing from seasoned professionals within the industry, whether it be from our professors or guest lecturers. Before university, I studied Biology, Psychology and Chinese A Level. I have a strong interest in Psychology and plan to take a masters (conversion) in Psychology after graduating! Outside of academics I like to casually take photos, listen to music, visit museums and meet new people! :)

Jasmine

University of Lincoln

Sociology - BA (Hons)

My name is Jasmine and I am a third year student. After I graduate, I hope to do a Masters Degree in Education, followed by a PGCE year to become a secondary school teacher. I'm currently doing supply work in Lincoln secondary schools and am absolutely loving it!

I enjoy exercise and going to the gym; recently discovering gym classes such as zumba and spin where I go with my flat mates after uni. We also play badminton together each week, something I had not played before starting university and has become one of my favourite social activities!!

English was my favourite subject in school and I love reading all types of fiction books and watching films, especially with my close friends. I listen to a lot of music, being a huge Taylor Swift fan, and I enjoy going to concerts, with my most recent being the JLS reunion tour and my next being Taylor Swift this summer!

I am a 23 year old fashion design student from South Wales. I never knew what I wanted to study. I went from studying science, to musical theatre, to music, to Japanese, Mandarin and translation to fashion design.
