I have not yet come across the perfect Geographical textbook during my time at university. Often my tutors won’t mention a relevant textbook at all, instead recommending various academic books or articles which are available through the uni library online. Only one course in my first year was taught from a textbook (read what I … Continue reading A perfect textbook?
How to come up with an empirical project idea
The final year is a dissertation year. In psychology, that is called an empirical research. We get the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of carrying out a study under the supervision of a member of faculty. To me, this is incredible mainly because we used to only read about studies and psychological concepts and now … Continue reading How to come up with an empirical project idea

I am very conscious that getting back into the academic frame of mind and refreshing my knowledge on course material will be a challenge. However, I have … Continue reading Back to the Books

Summer Fun
In all honesty I gave little thought to preparing for my third year once I had, thankfully, secured a 2:1 last term. I was far more interested in my summer plans which consisted of working for the National Citizens Service, an internship at the SAGE London office and a couple of holidays thrown in for … Continue reading Summer Fun
