What is Computer Science and why do you study it?
Computer Science is the study of computer systems – how they work, how to program them, and how to solve real-world problems using them. It’s an exciting time to be studying Computer Science, not least with developments in the fields of AI and Machine Learning. It’s also…
What’s it like studying with Classics and Ancient History? (Classical Civilisation edition)
20th February 2023
It was an easy decision to choose to study Classical Civilisation as it was what I enjoyed studying the most at school. Also, it introduces you to several aspects of classical antiquity, since it involves studying the complex philosophical beliefs, political and cultural environment of the society of Greece and Rome.

Why did I choose Maths?
If you are the type of person that enjoys solving difficult problems and rigorously proving results, a maths degree is for you. From learning initial definitions at the beginning of the course (which are the foundations of maths), you build on these concepts to develop your knowledge so you can tackle…
OK, the TLDR here (Too Long; Didn’t Read) is that maths is hard but fun; it’s really satisfying when you finally understand a proof (and some of them are really cool), but you have to have a bit of patience and to ask for help when needed – (don’t worry, there’s plenty of help).

The course has taught me many things about organisation and structure and has provided me with academic skills as well as professional and personal growth.

What’s Engineering?
As an engineering student I regularly hear the joke that even engineers don’t know what other engineers do and honestly, who can blame us! Engineering is a catch-all term for what is essentially, problem-solving. It’s the application of maths and science to solve problems and design solutions.
Why…
I really enjoy the course as I am passionate about education and love thinking deeply about it. The course is really varied, and you get to meet lots of lovely people who share your interests too!
What’s Primary Education?
The Primary Education BA with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is a great way to combine a…
Choosing a university degree can always be a bit of an overwhelming experience, and mine was no exception. I had no clue what I wanted to study, or where I wanted to go. However, once I’d discovered the Education Studies programme, everything seemed to snap into place and I’ve fallen in love with both my degree and the…
