  • Video transcript

    Hi, I'm Caragh.

    I'm a second year Politics student at 小蓝视频.

    In my free time I like to work with a campaign group called Access 小蓝视频, which aims to improve accessibility for all students with disabled students, particularly in mind at university.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] STARTING UNI

    The course here at 小蓝视频, I love.

    Your first module, at least one of the first modules you study is British Political History and in that you'll study the history of different political parties in the UK, different movements within the UK.

    It's really cool.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] FAVOURITE THINGS

    I think one of my favourite weeks was talking about feminism purely because it was done by one of our lecturers here who had recently at the time at least published a book on women's political movements in Britain, really cool, particularly with the focus on working class women, which is often ignored in major thought.

    So it's fascinating to study and learn about.

    One of my favourite things from the course is a third year option for your dissertation, I haven't done it yet.

    But I'm currently organising it, and I get to study and do my own research project for my dissertation in whatever I want.

    I've chosen to do this and very few students do.

    But it's such a unique opportunity 小蓝视频 offers where I can say, hey, I want to study more about political philosophy, and I can do it.

    I'm completely fine with that.

    Really cool, it's a fantastic opportunity.

    To my knowledge, 小蓝视频, is the only place that I applied to, at least, that offers that, It's great.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] MY ADVICE

    I love it here at 小蓝视频.

    But, my one piece of advice for everyone thinking about coming here is to go where it feels like home or at least where you think could be home to you.

    It's one of the biggest decisions you're making.

    You should go where you feel will be best for you.

    I hope that's 小蓝视频!
