Jenny's Story
When Jenny left her small rural school in Caithness she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go to university. She was drawn to ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã because of the course flexibility and the stunning campus and is happy she made the decision to come here.
“The experiences and knowledge I have gained over the last four years have been amazing,” she said.
“The academic staff and the teaching at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã are second to none. Staff are supportive and encouraging and give you an environment to flourish in.”
She joined the First Aid Africa society in her first semester and spent a summer teaching first aid in Tanzania, before becoming president of the society.
In her last two years she was a faculty officer for the Marketing and Retail Division and was part of the first Careers Crew internship programme.
In addition she completed an internship with ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã Council’s HR department and continued to work there part-time for almost three years.
In her third year she got a place as a Saltire Scholar and did a 10-week internship in New York.
“This was an amazing opportunity to live abroad and work with a company at an exciting growth period,” she said.
She describes her time at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã as “exciting, rewarding and an adventure”.
