Rachael Harris: Combined Honours student, 2012/13.
Rachael said: “I wanted to study in London and it was the best University in London to offer the course I wanted. Doing a combined course has been really interesting as it adds a bit more diversity to the content of my lectures as well as providing a wider range of transferable skills.”
