      <description>I took the single honours social policy degree. Over the course of my studies, I enjoyed the criminal justice modules and developed a particular interest in British Security Policy and Counter Terrorism, a topic which I chose to form the focus of my final year dissertation in which I explored the impacts of Security Policies upon British Muslims.</description>

      <description>I think that studying Social Policy gave me a sense of the history that this country has of trying to better itself, of applying the simple truths of loving your neighbour to a whole community, and of having confidence that change can happen.</description>

      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/social-policy/alumni/profiles/keehn-rhea.aspx</link>
      <description>I studied social policy at Birmingham and I currently work as a Governance Policy and Communications Officer in Northampton. Studying Social Policy at Birmingham was a fantastic opportunity for me to learn about cause and effect for the things that are happening around us in the world today. I currently use the skills that I learnt from that in my day job, looking at policy, looking at corporate governance, about the organisation and how it works, so really it's opened my eyes into looking at the whole focus of the world and what's going on.</description>
