I chose Bournemouth University (BU) because I was really keen on the sound of the BSc Applied Geography course. I knew I wanted to study Geography having done well at GCSE and A Levels. It was the 'Applied' aspect which appealed.
I chose Bournemouth because of its great location close to the UNESCO Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site and the area encompassing heathland, woodland and coastal ecosystems - a biodiversity hot spot!
I decided to study BSc (Hons) Archaeology at BU because it had an excellent reputation for archaeological studies and the course had a strong emphasis on practical work.
Back in 2006, I was reading 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' and read the sentence, "...the average lifespan is 750,000 hours." As I was in a very unfulfilling job at the time, I began to think about a change of career and making more of those precious hours.
I chose Bournemouth University (BU) because it was a very good University with great facilities, experienced lecturers and in a fantastic location. I thoroughly enjoyed the forensic science course, especially the variety of subjects and topic areas that we covered.
