Aidan
King's College LondonWar Studies and HistoryI come from the Home Counties, in England, having gone to a state school in Hertfordshire. Though my passions are primarily in the field of history, particularly to do with Luxembourg and Finland, though I do also enjoy wargaming and walking as well. My plans for the future are probably going to be something to do with policing, teaching or public policy related. Benjamina Efua

University of East Anglia UEAArt History and World Art StudiesIn the future I don't know exactly what I want to do but I would like to work in a museum or with conservation. I am currently completing my study abroad in Ghent, Belgium and it has been one of the best opportunities of my life, I have been able to meet people from all across the world and study new and interesting classes. I love crafts, museums and the gym. Devin
Birkbeck, University of LondonHistoryHello! I’m Devin, and I’m currently in my first year of History BA after completing my foundation year at Birkbeck. I came to Uni seven years after struggling to complete my A-levels and had always preciously assumed higher education was an option that was closed off to me. I chose to come to Birkbeck as there are countless students like me who had a “non-traditional” path through education but have not let our experiences hold us back. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Evie
Durham UniversityBA History (V100)Hi i´m Evie!! I´ve just completed my first year at Durham studying History. My college is St Cuthbert´s society and I am involved in my college´s cheerleading, volunteering, and fashion show.

University of ReadingBA Ancient HistoryI'm aiming to work in the Heritage sector (Stonehenge would be ideal haha)! I love all things ancient women and ancient warfare related. Shipwrecks are another passion of mine, especially the ones from ancient Greece. Harriet
University of Wales Trinity Saint DavidHistory (BA)Hi, I am Harriet, a second year History student at the University of Wales Trinity St David. I am a keen historian who is primarily interested in early modern history, particularly empires, royalty and gender studies. Outside of my interest in history I am very much interested in fashion, makeup, The Sims franchise and food. Alongside this I am also a keen traveller and love to go on holidays, whether in the UK or abroad and learn about new places and cultures! On my bucket list at the moment is to go to Rome and the Holy See, as well as Kensington Palace, the childhood home of Queen Victoria! After University, I am planning on going into teaching with the aim of becoming a History and Politics teacher at Secondary School and/or Sixth Form/College. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about studying at UWTSD or are interested in studying History at any university! 😊 Matthew
University of EssexHistoryHello, my name is Matt, and I am a 3rd year History student at the University of Essex! My aim for the future is to work in intelligence analysis (more interesting than it sounds I promise). I have a strong passion for music and love live music and performances. In my spare time, I am also teaching myself coding and cybersecurity in order to supplement my love of technology. My love for History comes from my interest in my family history and also Horrible Histories (something a lot of people can relate to!) Please message me with any questions you may have about student life or History at the University of Essex! Nusrat
King's College LondonHistoryHi i’m Nusrat a current history student at KCL, im currently unsure on an exact career path but one option is to perhaps become a secondary teacher in the future! Olivia
University of EssexHistoryI am a first year BA History student at the Colchester campus, my aim is to get a job in curation within historic buildings and castles when I have finished my studies. I have had a passion for history since I was young and spent my time reading any history book that I could as a child. When I am not studying I fill my time with acrobatics, music, photography, and spending time with friends. I am a commuter and can offer advice regarding it, I personally love commuting to uni and wouldn't have it any other way. I am also a head student rep and love to encourage others to join the Student Union as student reps. Reuben
Durham UniversityBA History (V100)I come from the town of West Bridgford outside Nottingham in the East Midlands. I am half Indian, quarter Welsh, quarter German. I attended a state school, studying Law, Economics and History for A Level. My passion for all things history led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in it at Durham University. I'm currently undecided as to my career plans, but I'm considering either going into academia, the civil service, or journalism. Sophie
University of LincolnHistory - BA (Hons)Hi! I am Sophie and I am currently studying History at the University of Lincoln. I have always had a particular interest in History as I have always loved to read. I would love a career in the publishing industry as the opportunity to work with books is my absolute dream! I also love to travel, especially to Greece which is my favourite place in the world! Everything from the villages to the food is my absolute favourite. I also love to cook and bake whenever I get the opportunity, especially whilst listening to Taylor Swift. University has been a wonderful experience for me and I would love to help anyone looking to follow the same path :)
