My journey here at the University of Leicester started off in clearing process and lets say it is not a decision I regret! The clearing service was so simple, straightforward and quick! During the initial phone call where the advisor just asked what course I was interested in and what grades I had achieved, I […]

When I initially applied for universities while at college, I was dead set on moving out which meant I ended up firming a university in London as my first choice. However, as the year progressed I realised that I wasn’t actually ready to move out. So, when results came round I had to contact universities […]

In nine days, my first year of university will come to an end(ish). It will officially end once I’ve done my final exam some time in May. But as of the 24th March, teaching in the sociology department for us first years will stop. Nineteen weeks of university have scarily flown by. In this post […]

There was once a time where I found an eight week term at school really long and tiring. But now having experienced an eleven week semester at university, the current nine week semester seems so short! (I sound crazy, I know) One thing about university is that no one day is the same as the […]

I have now submitted my first ever pieces of academic/university essays as well as sitting my first ever university exam, all very exciting things. The one really weird thing about all […]

Something I was really anxious about before starting uni was my timetable. I’ve never been the most luckiest with timetables across my two years at college (I always had early starts and late finishes with so many hours free in between!) But it seems like luck is now on my side (she says) seeing I […]

As I was walking onto the stage at De Montfort Hall on Friday 15th July to receive my degree certificate I was feeling a huge mixture of emotions. I was hugely proud and happy to be graduating with a First Class Honours in Sociology but sad that my three years at University had come to […]

On the 12th of May at 16.30, my friend and I made our way up to the Third Floor of the Attenborough Tower to hand in our finished Research Projects (a whole 4 days before the deadline). After a whole year of seemingly endless reading and writing and a couple of sleepless nights it was […]

This blog is the final instalment of a series of blogs I have posted over the last few months which outline the modules I have completed during my time studying for a Sociology Degree at the University of Leicester.

Now that Easter is done and dusted it is, sadly, time to begin concentrating on summer exams (how is it that time again already?!). Through my three years studying here I have consistently achieved decent grades in exams which means I am probably a good person to speak to about exam tips, so here are some […]
