There is a big focus in schools about studying STEM subjects and particularly in encouraging women to choose STEM subjects at university. However, I feel that more can be done to encourage women to study subjects such as Economics. The subject itself is so interesting and looks at the way the world functions. It can also lead to a variety of jobs in government, in finance or in large organisations, where you can play your part in shaping policies and shaping big business decisions.

I’ve joined the School of Management’s mentoring scheme and it’s been the best decision I’ve made. My mentor is an Information Manager at Tata Steel and is fantastic at giving me career advice. Experiencing work at such a big, global company has helped me realise how everyone’s role within an BSc ECONOMICS organisation is important in ensuring the Graduating July 2021 successful running of a business.

The best thing about studying at the School is how inclusive it feels. You’re encouraged to get involved and there's something to suit everyone.

I’ve mooted for the University as part of the Bar Society, which as well as being great fun, has given me unique advocacy experience that is invaluable for your CV. I've also been involved with the Law Society, which offers great networking opportunities.

Swansea offers so many opportunities both whilst studying and to help you once you've graduated. For prospective students, I feel this is an important thing to consider, because ultimately you need to be as prepared as possible for the world after university.

STUDENT PROFILESTUDENT

I’ve always had an insatiable curiosity – whether it’s about our world or the human mind. And thanks to Swansea University, I’ve had the opportunity to pursue both these passions by studying a subject as diverse as psychology.

Of all the great opportunities presented to me, one stood out – a five-week mental health placement in Sri Lanka. From volunteering in hospitals to teaching in primary schools, temples and orphanages – this was an adventure like no other.

Back in Swansea, I volunteer twice a week with the University’s student volunteering BSc PSYCHOLOGY service, Discovery, and I’ve become social secretary for the kickboxing society.
