- About Josh
What was your experience of Further/Higher education like?
My experience of higher education when I was a student was stressful but also exciting. It was a lot of work but a fantastic experience being able to meet new people and try new things. I enjoyed higher education because it was a chance to not just study a subject but really engage with it.
What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?
What I like most about my work as a Student Adviser is working with students. University is a challenging time and everyone needs support. It is rewarding to be able to provide support for students who are struggling at that moment and then see them succeed.
What would it surprise people to know about you?
I think people are surprised to learn that I lived and worked in Japan for 6 years. I think experiencing other cultures is one of the most rewarding experiences.
