Exam season is almost upon us so I thought I’d share some of my favourite studying tips! Find and set up your best environment to study in. Whether that’s the silent section in the library or playing music in your bedroom, being in an environment that works best for you will give you the best […]
This year, I was elected to become one of the two Level 3 History class reps. I think becoming a class rep is a fantastic idea if you’re interested in changing things on your course or at least having a positive impact on the student body and getting involved in the way things run on […]
