I chose to come to the University of Brighton as it was a place of familiarity to me and was within good distance to my home. The school also has a prestigious reputation and is a level one learner provider so with this all in mind the University of Brighton was my number one choice.
Opportunities
During my first year I was a part of the university dance squad and this year have joined the Fidget dance company.
I also play an active role in the volunteer programme that the university runs and have volunteered to teach sports to young children.
The opportunities at the university are endless; it really is such a great place to study, the facilities are all very modern and the lecturers are all very friendly.
Fulfilling role
In my second year I have taken on the role of student ambassador. This involves helping out on the Physical Education interview days and providing support and information to the candidates and their families.
Fulfilling this role on behalf of the university has given me a great sense of gratitude. It is giving something back to the institution for all the wonderful opportunities and doors it has opened for me.
Scholarship success
One of the best moments was when I was presented with a scholarship from the Dean of Faculty and head of school; I never thought in a million years that I would achieve something as great as this.
There are many types of scholarship available for talented sports players. However, being a general all round sports player, it was never something I set my sights on. I was awarded a merit-based scholarship from obtaining good academic results at the end of my first year. The money has helped to pay for my second year trip to Bude.
