While completing my first year of university, it was all filled with mixed emotions, from moving in, to freshers week, studying for my course (Adult nursing) , to making an amazing group of friends. For my plans for second year is to take part in the university more, hopefully join another society. I would like to also hopefully tour different countries. I believe my favourite part of this experience was meeting new people, and creating social activities to do, for example come dine with me and movie nights. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, no question is silly. 🙂

Phoebe
University of Plymouth
BEd (Hons) Primary (KS1/KS2 with QTS)
After finishing my A-levels at small sixth form in 2019 (and a few gap years!), I started my university journey. It took me a long time to decide what path I wanted to take, so I very much relate to the uncertainty you might be feeling at this stage!
I am from a very rural village in Cornwall, so naturally love the outdoors. So, for someone not used to urban living, Plymouth is a great in-between! It has so much to offer, including a balance between city and coastal life.
I am now in my third (and final!) year of my BEd Primary Education degree, specialising in geography. After graduating in 2025, I hope to pursue a career in teaching and share my passion for educating for sustainability.
