“Prior to moving to Winchester for University, I hadn’t heard of the city and felt very anxious about whether I was going to settle in. Reminiscing now seven years on, it was the best move I could have made. Going to such a small university made it very personalised. It really feels like home – everyone knows everyone. I was able to build friendships that last a lifetime and I still go back to Winchester to visit my university friends who live around the area.” Read more

“We are taught as kids that there are such narrow choices in careers but there are so many other options before and after you graduate. That’s the good thing about university; your degree gets you through the door. That’s what Winchester did for me – opened my eyes and broke down the narrow walls career-wise that we put ourselves in.”Read more

“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

“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

My career goal was to become a graphic designer, but I wanted to study something more academic en route and I really enjoyed my undergrad at Winchester.” Read more
