BA (Hons) History and Sociology
"I adore studying humanities, as the study of people is so diverse and throws up so much intriguing information. I feel at home studying topics where there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong answer and that events are open to interpretation."
I adore studying humanities, as the study of people is so diverse and throws up so much intriguing information. I feel at home studying topics where there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong answer and that events are open to interpretation through the lenses of different scholars. I also enjoy the relevancy of each of my courses, I often find myself in my personal life saying “oh, I’ve just been discussing that this week in class.”
Manchester Met has helped me to develop unbelievably. My confidence in my abilities has increased dramatically and I now feel able to tackle most things. I’ve also become a much more accomplished academic and can produce pieces of work which are well written, researched and referenced.
I flew out to Australia in June and I am studying at the Deakin University in Melbourne. My study abroad year has allowed me to experience another culture and has also provided me with inspiration for my dissertation.
Grasp the opportunities available. On this course there are so many things to get involved with and all of them will introduce you to new people and skills. Make the most of having passionate and knowledgeable tutors. Communicate with them, they enjoy hearing from the students to allow them to develop the units. Tutors want to learn from us as much as we do from them.
…my tutors, each and every one of them.
I love Manchester Met, because it feels like home; a place where you can truly be yourself and develop into the best person you can be.
