My favourite thing about studying at Edge Hill is the flexibility, choosing modules from such a wide range has meant I can do almost anything that fits my interests.

I’ve always been interested in history, my choice to pursue it as a degree came from my interest in archivism. My passion for history meant this degree was perfect for me. The modules also perfectly fit my interests.

The campus is lovely and feels like a community. I’ve always wanted to attend a campus university and Edge Hill met my needs.

Resilience, networking and time management are the top three skills I have developed during my degree.

The most memorable moments of my degree so far are the late night library trips, going to the vending machine and hot drink machine in-between reading with my friends.

My favourite thing about studying at Edge Hill is the flexibility, choosing modules from such a wide range has meant I can do almost anything that fits my interests.

The best thing about Edge Hill is the community, if you need anything you can genuinely ask and find support.

My favourite place on campus is the Catalyst coffee shop, it is the best coffee on campus.

My advice for anyone considering studying history at Edge Hill would be to ask questions and talk to your tutor, they aren’t going to judge you for asking about something outside of the course. 

Edge Hill has been very supportive, staff are so friendly and willing to help with almost anything. There are so many services and facilities.
