Now that I have graduated, I want to volunteer/work abroad either teaching or within criminal justice to get more experience in the working life. I think my degree will support this as it has given me knowledge and various skills, such as critical and analytical thinking as well as researching skills, all of which are transferable to a lot of industries.

I would also like to either do a master’s degree in a topic related to practical criminology and forensics or a conversion course in law to ultimately work within the criminal justice system or in the field of criminal law.

To anyone considering coming to Loughborough, I would say be open to new experiences. Loughborough University offers so many things to get involved in outside of your studies, and I’m not just talking about sports. You don’t have to be ‘sporty’ to fit in because I’m definitely not. There are many things to get involved in such as societies, volunteering, fund-raising and enterprise, to name a few.
