Syeda Ali: BSc (Hons) Psychology: 2011-2014; MA Forensic Psychology 2014-2015; Social worker for Hammersmith and Fulham Council
“I enjoyed Psychology – Winchester is a smaller uni so I felt supported there. In my final year I had a supervisor who was amazing and super helpful. She was so supportive; she was my dissertation leader but we would chat about other things as well. Winchester is such a nice small community. In my Masters I was so comfortable in such a small class. I was going to study elsewhere but I chose to stay. It was a new course that year and it gave me a good grounding.” Read more

Jack Dingley: BA (Hons) Business Management with Enterprise and Innovation 2010-2013; Business Development Manager, Tech Data
“Winchester allowed me to open my eyes to the rest of the world. I made friends with a lot of exchange students and that’s where my love of travel stemmed from. You can do absolutely anything you want after university – it feels like the doors are closed when it is over; it’s as though the bubble has burst but no one can take your degree away from you, especially the memories. My friends and I are extremely proud of attending Winchester”.Read more

Jonny Brason: BA (Hons) Business Management with Marketing 2007-2011 Senior Operations Manager at The Prince’s Trust

In my job there’s no such thing as a regular day – I’m working with young people who are going through things that are life changing. I wouldn’t have any of that without Winchester.”Read more
