Fatimah Al-Mayyahi

I have always been inspired by how politics shapes our everyday lives, and the huge influence it has on us. Politics cannot be politics without people’s beliefs, values and interests.

I chose to study at Edge Hill due to the brilliant lecturers, and the beautiful unique campus.

The top three skills I have developed during my degree are research and analytical skills, adaptability, and resilience skills.

The most memorable moment of my degree so far has been all my lectures, seminars and a London field trip.

My favourite thing about studying politics is the lectures, and the seminars. The content is always interesting, and I am consistently learning something new.

I am consistently learning something new and beneficial. The lecturers always present the sessions in a brilliant professional manner.

All of the campus is my favourite, however if I have to be specific, I’d say the library is my most favourite place.

Edge Hill has supported me throughout my degree. When I needed the support, it was always there.

When I graduate, I am hoping to contribute to policy development.

For someone considering studying politics and international relations at Edge Hill the advice I would give is – do not hesitate! This degree is perfect for you If you want a career in politics, but also if you enjoy giving back to the community by making positive developments, do not hesitate.
