Course: FdSc Law with Business
My Story:
Scarlet previously attended Penwith and Callywith campuses which are associated with Truro College. She said “The level of support I received was excellent and I really enjoyed my experience there. I chose Truro as I believed it would be the same and it is.”
Scarlet has always been fascinated by law with business and thoroughly enjoys learning about both. She said “as part of my course I have been able to meet a corporate lawyer and have been offered the chance of work experience in a law firm.” She enjoys the support of living at home while studying her university course and finds it more cost effective to study local. Scarlet also finds the small class sizes and quality of teaching help her to achieve her potential.
Scarlet has taken up the opportunity of becoming a Student Ambassador which allows her to supplement her income. She is also a Student Rep. and she says this is allowing her to build confidence and improve self-development. She says “these opportunities are preparing me sufficiently for my future and I am being supported very well. I am very thankful to college for this.”
Scarlet enjoys the benefit of discounted gym membership for students and the convenience of the onsite fitness facilities. “They offer a gym discount for students of £30 per month with access to all Better gyms which is an amazing deal.”
Scarlet advises potential students to “not be afraid to reach out and ask for support, help, guidance and opportunities. You don’t know until you ask! Don’t let fear prevent you from reaching your potential. Book a careers advice appointment in College. I was given lots of useful, helpful tips and they are very friendly too!” Scarlet has found the library staff are “amazing and super helpful.” She also says, “All my lecturers, my tutor and support staff are available to contact in person, email or through Teams. Familiarize yourself with all the support available to you and use it.”
