Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Growing up I never really knew what kind of career I wanted to pursue and always changed my mind every day. However, the one thing I knew was I had to pursue a career that fulfilled my desire of being creative and being able to make a difference - no matter how small.
When I had to apply to university, I wasn’t too sure about choosing a uni course. At the time I was studying science A Levels, so I was looking to pursue a career within this field. I attended numerous open days at universities across the country for courses like Radiography and Biomedical Science. Eventually I came to the realisation that I could not see myself being truly happy in this field so I decided to take a year to really understand my interests and what kind of career I would be happy in.
Whilst I was researching different university courses, I came across Marketing which really stood out to me. I’ve always enjoyed tv shows, movies, magazines and social media and Marketing was the perfect fit with my interests. I then attended even more university open days to get a better understanding of the course and I finally felt I found the right course for me.
I was hesitant at first when I started my degree as I had never studied anything related to Business or Marketing before but once I got settled everything was great and I thoroughly enjoyed learning all the content and getting stuck into the assignments. I’ve now graduated and finally feel like I found the right career for me and I am looking to develop my career in digital marketing.
Advice on choosing a course
My advice for students that are currently choosing a university course is that it’s okay to take your time to find the right path for you and you shouldn’t feel pressured by your family or friends to pursue something that you’re not truly interested in. I’d also say that it’s never too late to change your mind, even when you’re at university sometimes your interests can change and that’s okay.
One of my friends and I have recently created our own Instagram page @lifeofgrads where we talk about our experiences and give helpful advice and tips to students on topics like university, college and careers.
