Transforming Lives

We know that going to university pays off.

Studying at university can be among the most enjoyable and rewarding of a student’s life, with benefits to skills development, knowledge building, forming new friendships, getting involved with volunteering and – for many – living independently for the first time. A degree from a UK university also continues to give a significant boost to salary, employment levels and a graduate’s career prospects throughout life.

However, behind the statistics are real people whose lives have changed for the better as a result of going to university. And it’s these stories that we want to put centre stage.

We want to hear how going to university has transformed your life– whether that’s personally, professionally, or a combination of the two.

Maybe you never thought you’d go to university, or perhaps your life went in an entirely unexpected direction because of your time at university and the opportunities it offered. It may be through the connections you made, the encouragement you had, the subjects you studied, or the career doors that were opened for you.

We are looking to feature a wide range of people and stories, so please do share your experiences with us. Share your story here
