University is amazing! The people and environment are really supportive!

Being a student ambassador really helped me build confidence and communication skills that I now am really thankful for in seminars when I have to put points across confidently and succinctly.

I am particularly enjoying learning about the historical and philosophical roots of politics. Being able to link in and extend the philosophy learned at college!
