#100Faces

Universities should be for everyone, regardless of socio-economic background. It is only through education that we can broaden minds, innovate and tackle injustice. That is why the #100Faces campaign is so important to me in the face of austerity & funding cuts.

While studying at QUB School of Law in 2017 for my LLM, I had met my incredible PhD supervisors Prof Anna Bryson & Prof Kathryn McNeilly. I struck gold! They helped to guide me through the lengthy PhD application process and were a rock during the ups and downs of my PhD #100Faces

An interesting campaign #100Faces by Universities UK

I was the first in my family to go to university, I was unconfident & not good academically. But opportunities& support allowed:

BSc Aberystwyth University
MSc University of Oxford
PGCE Uni of Roehampton
PhD Oxford Brookes University
Work Nottingham Trent University

First in the family students are more likely to rely on a university bursary than their peers, and less likely to receive support from their family. #100Faces
