What I am doing to make myself more employable (Amber)
For many people at university the only things on their mind are meeting deadlines and getting the grades. And that’s how it should be!

Getting a job and balancing your studies isn’t so hard as long as you organise and prioritise your time. However, finding and successfully getting a job can be difficult and very demotivating.

Reflections on my second year (Georgie)
A lot of students experience what is referred to as ‘second year slump’ coming back to University in September.
