Psychology and Sociology |
RIANNA JAVIER
' In my first year we visited the courts of
law and sat in the public gallery to watch
a court case . In our course you have the
chance to participate in studies and I think
this is valuable experience to get an idea
of what it would be like to conduct and
administer your own research study .'

' My dissertation was my most enjoyable part of my course , really getting hold of something that bothered me and being able to study further . My tutor was on hand , but ultimately I was leading the project . It was something I was really proud of .'
