Aha thank you :h:

and it was with Durham University it was a supported progression pathway - we had to do residential with the university and took part in university style lectures to give us a taste of the work and then at the end of week on the second residential we had to complete a group presentation with 2 others which was assessed by the lecturer (was so nervous it was unreal XD). Essentially it was similar to the Sutton Trust program I think

Personally I quite liked the idea of the police or personal security services, what about you?

I want to do something crime related, but sometimes I reconsider the idea of a police officer. It is an amazing job, I’m just a really scared person 😂 do you get what I mean lol, also what’s your name lol?

I’m really interested in Criminology & Sociology, but then sometimes I worry, because I don’t know what I want to do afterwards, but my dad said do the degree you’re interested in and as you go through uni, you’ll find a lot career opportunities
