Tell us about where you are working/studying now and about your role/university course:

I am currently studying Criminology at University of Huddersfield. Criminology is helping me to learn about the laws within the justice system, the human rights around the world, and the various ways of researching and collecting data to help improve the justice and legal system across the world.

How did studying at Wales help prepare you for this?

During sixth form, psychology helped me learn about research methods and the way the brain works. Currently, as I have already said, I am learning about research methods so having already done this it has helped me understand more of this specific module. Using the knowledge I learnt in year 12 and 13 has helped me feel more confident on my course by having some understanding of the content I am learning. Criminology helped me learn the different routes I was able to go into before deciding I wanted to go to university. This had a big impact on pursuing criminology into further education. Health and Social has developed my ability to interact with the general public, which is a key aspect for my course. Also, the coursework I completed in Health and Social has given me a better grasp at the work I have to complete on my course.
