A South Thames College student is celebrating securing a place to study Law at university after completing the college's successful Law, Psychology and Criminology pathway, demonstrating how the course can open doors to higher education and careers in the legal sector.
Paula chose South Thames College because it was the only college offering the combination of subjects she wanted to study, enabling her to explore key areas of criminal law, psychology and criminology while developing the skills needed for university and future employment.
Reflecting on her experience, she said: "I chose this college because it was the only one which offered the courses I wanted to study: Law, Psychology and Criminology. College life was surprising in many ways, from exploring new topics and environments to creating friendships that will last forever."
Like many students, she faced challenges during her studies but credits the support of family, friends and the college for helping her stay focused on her ambitions.
"During these two years there were times when I struggled and even considered giving up and changing my career path. However, the support I received from family, friends and those around me helped me overcome that fear and become more confident," she said.
She believes perseverance is one of the most valuable lessons students can learn during their time at college.
"Learning to keep going regardless of the challenges and always trying your best is such an important part of college life."
This September, she will begin studying LLB (Hons) Law at the University of Law in London, taking the next step towards a lifelong ambition of working within the legal profession.
"Working in the legal field has been a lifetime dream of mine. Whether I become a solicitor or even a judge, I'm excited to see where the future takes me."
Her success highlights the opportunities available through South Thames College's Criminal Law pathway, which combines Law, Psychology and Criminology to give students a broad understanding of the criminal justice system and prepare them for progression to university, apprenticeships and careers in law, policing, criminology, criminal justice and related professions.
