Lydia Ilett, BA (Hons) History

Lydia Ilett (22) studied for a BA (Hons) History degree full time at UHI Inverness because she wanted to stay in her hometown. 

She graduated in 2022 and plans to continue her studies by progressing onto a PGDE in secondary education with ambitions to be a history teacher.  

Lydia said: “I really liked the look of the variety of modules of various histories, and I also liked the idea of taking some occasional modules in other humanities. I enjoyed doing some literature modules during my history degree, as well as the class discussions and being physically in the university. 

“The support from the lecturers and course leaders was really good. I always felt happy enough to email them if I had a query. 

“There are some great modules, and it is a really enjoyable course. The lecturers provided lots of help and communication and there was plenty of space for quiet time too.”
