Hafizah Hafez (21)
Foundation Year Certificate
Hafizah (21) had originally studied for a law degree, but decided to pursue a different career path as a nutritionist.
'I chose Birkbeck, because it has a prestigious reputation. I was working full-time so I decided to study in the evening. This was great because it allowed me to earn as well to support my studies. It was also affordable.'
'I wouldn't change a thing about Birkbeck. I was the first person in my family to study at university, and this course has given me the opportunity to achieve my ambition.'
'The teaching was absolutely fantastic, and the staff were very supportive. They work out the timetable carefully, so you're not overloaded. If I missed a class for any reason, I could read up on the subject and keep up-to-date. There was also a really good mix of people doing the course. Studying at Birkbeck made me realise that it's never too late to go back to education.'
