How did you get to where you are now?
Just applied online, proved I had archived a min of 2:1 in degree. Application process was relatively straightforward.
Your favourite thing about your current course?
Good city, smaller course. It has been nice get a good feel of what it’s like living in Belfast.
The most challenging part of your graduate journey?
Living away and having to fly back and forth between England and Belfast.
Could you share one tip you wish you knew before you started
Start everything early! Application, job searching all of it. I was able to land an internship before my master’s because I applied early. They offered me a job, so I didn’t need to worry about applying whilst studying.
