Theology and Religion student, Cait sits in the Arts lounge

I love the versatile nature of my course and the wide array of optional modules to choose from. This has enabled me to tailor my degree to my specific interests. For instance, I am particularly interested in ethics, therefore, I opted to take modules such as The Ethics of Killing and Sex, Ethics and Philosophy. I also like that my department is relatively small in comparison to other departments. This enabled me to get to know my course mates and department staff on a first-name-basis.
