How I Got a Paid Internship After First-Year
It is common knowledge that first years DO NOT get internships but I was quite determined to prove that wrong. With the help of the Careers Service and quite a lot of free time, my application process started. I must admit, I started quite late as application season starts in September and this was December. Nonetheless, I did not let this deter me; I was still on a hunt for summer internships and insight programs. My Christmas...
Something About Me
Ok, first blog posts are always difficult to write when you’re not sure about which direction your taking your posts, but I have to start somewhere, so I’ll start by introducing myself.

Hey there, Welcome to another blog post! As we are now in April, I am beginning to feel the university has definitely gone faster than I ever imagined it would. With all of my essays and assignments submitted all that is left for me finishing 1st year is placement and I couldn’t be more excited as it is one of the most important parts of university for me. However, before I get to placement I am enjoying the Easter holidays and...
