Law with Spanish (LLB)

I can safely say that studying Spanish has contributed hugely to the opportunities I have had in my life. The skills I have learned from studying a language and speaking a language have helped me develop a strong work ethic. Speaking a different language has helped me build deeper connections with people from around the world through being able to bridge the gap in times of need.

Journalism (BA)

It gave me contacts in the industry and a great reading list. And it showed me there were different ways of reaching my goals. By the end of my studies I was much more disciplined, and I was hungry to be employed, which helped in getting into newsrooms – and staying there.

Emily McLaren

BSc Psychology and Counselling

I chose to explore spiritual awakenings in Scotland, and my dissertation quickly turned into a real passion project. It offered me the chance to connect with people and listen to deeply personal stories that society doesn’t always feel comfortable discussing.
