"The flexibility in my timetable allowed me to take extra modules in Psychology, English Language and other areas that took my interest. I took the opportunity to complete an Industrial Placement Year in between my second and third year of study, which I completed in the HR Department of a pharma company in Liverpool. I felt that my first two years at Keele had ideally prepared me for this. Staff were so enthusiastic and approachable, which added to the fun of learning. Lecturers helped me practice for interviews and assessment centres. I could not have chosen a better university to prepare me for my career and give me a better foundation to build onto."
