I enjoy the group projects and debates in class as it allows me to express my views and hear other people’s opinions.

I plan to go on a gap year and then go into Primary teaching.

What made you pick this particular course/ÓÕ»óÂÜÀò?
The subjects are good for putting on my future teacher application, and will give me the knowledge I need for my Primary teaching degree.
I chose ÓÕ»óÂÜÀò because it was more local and my brother had a positive experience.

What do you most enjoy about studying at ÓÕ»óÂÜÀò?
I enjoy getting to talk to my peers about topics in class and I enjoy the variety of lessons. The teachers are also great at helping with any questions or problems you have.

Did you do any work experience?
I did work experience in a local primary school. It really helped me be sure that I want a degree/job in primary teaching.

What do you want to do after you leave ÓÕ»óÂÜÀò?
Primary teaching degree at the University of South Wales.

Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course?
Consistently revise, don’t leave it until second year.

What made you pick this particular course/ North Devon College?
I didn’t know a particular subject I wanted to study, so I wanted a choice of three.

What did/do you most enjoy about studying at North Devon College e.g. trips, visits, projects.
I enjoyed meeting new people. I also wanted more freedom than a sixth form, so college was the best option for me.

Have you got involved in any enrichment activities (such as academies), if so, which ones, and what did you enjoy most about them?
I did yoga for a while in year one. I enjoyed it because it was relaxing.

Did you undertake any work experience throughout your studies? If so, which company did you work at? How did you find your experience? And do you think this work experience helped you to decide your next steps?
I did wake experience at Lampard Community school, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about teaching. I believe it helped me understand my passion for teaching.

What do you plan to do when you leave North Devon College (further study, career etc.)?
I plan to go to university to study Psychology.

Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course as you?
It is hard work but really fulfilling. Use your free periods to revise.
