University of SuffolkBSc (Hons) CriminologyHi, I’m Grace. I’m currently studying at The University of Suffolk in my home town, Ipswich. I chose to do my degree in criminology, with the hopes to go on to do a conversion course into law and hopefully go into law one day as a career. Morgan
University of SuffolkBSc (Hons) Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation ScienceI’m very passionate about the natural world and prefer to be outside rather than in. I’ve lived in the Northeast of England my entire life so moving across the country was a big life change, but it’s been entirely worth it! Following this course my ideal career would be one in ornithology or working with populations of endangered wild birds, which I’m very enthusiastic about and love to observe and photograph them whenever I can.
