Why study here?

I studied at Christchurch for one year and completed by PGCE in secondary History teaching.

I went here because:Good reputation for teaching coursesNear home so cheaperGood schools around the area with potential

job opportunities.

FINAL ADVICEDon’t be influenced by your friends.Branch out and reinvent yourself. University

gives you this chance!Look carefully at the area, university

reputation and the course opportunitiesMake sure it is realistic choice and don’t put

yourself under impossible pressure.
