Department at the University of Bath. All the staff were friendly and welcoming which made finding help with tricky questions easy. The diverse module options in my fourth year meant that I could study modules from the Education Department; a career path I was considering. Once I’d made the decision to follow a career as a teacher there was no question where I would complete my PGCE - Bath. I am now a physics teacher at a large secondary school in the Lake District. In my job I try to support and inspire the pupils that I teach, the same way I was inspired at Bath.


‘‘ ’’


my time on the campus. Having all the accommodation and facilities so close by created a great environment. The combination of very good tuition in a quantitative field and a practical work experience placement helped me define my career objectives. Additionally, up-to-date IT facilities and excellent feedback from the teaching staff allowed me to gain the skills needed to start my career in finance in the city of London where I currently hold a trading position.
