Hello. Welcome back to my channel. Today's episode is focused on the city of Birmingham - the 2nd biggest city in the UK. Birmingham was one of the hubs for the Industrial Revolution and the Midlands Revolution. Remants of this history still remain in the many museums and educational instituations. The Christmas markets during December are also well worth a visit and definitely helps put you in the #Xmas spirit. 

Websites of interest: Birmingham Museums, Cadbury Chocolate World and Library of Birmingham. The Visit Birmingham website also contains info on events that occur throughout the year as well as transport and hotel links.

PS: The hit tv show #PeakyBlinders is set in #Birmingham.

Hello! Here is my latest video podcast. This is the 4th episode on the 'History Musings' series and the topic of discussion is on Stoke-on-Trent. 

In this episode, I mention the brief history of The Potteries, Trentham Estate and Gladstone Pottery Museum. If you are a student at the #keeleuniversity, you can use the number 25 bus service (provided by First Buses) to get to important destinations such as Newcastle-under-Lyme bus station, Royal Stoke University Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent railway station and Hanley Bus station. Just remember to get a day pass. I vsited Hanley, one of the 6 towns that forms Stoke-on-Trent on numerous occasions when I studied at Keele University as it was the main city centre. 

For information on events that take place in Stoke-on-Trent, visit: https://www.visitstoke.co.uk/

Hello! Here is my latest video podcast. This is the 3rd episode on the 'History Musings' series and the topic of discussion is Keele University. My last episode was on the parish village of Keele and today's episode is the continuation of Keele. I did my first degree in Keele and had a memorable few years there so I thought I will create a video to show you the university.

I apologise for the video length of 2 hours. I recorded it in a certain way that would make it difficult to edit the video. However, feel free to skip any parts that you don't find interesting. All the information in this video are from the university website, Keele Students' Union website and wikipedia.

I highly recommend visiting Keele on the open days if you are planning to apply there. A lot of students are surpised by how remote and rural it is as most come from bigger cities that have better convenient access to shops and transport links. Keele is a village and though buses are frequent (every 10 mins or so), they can still be delayed due to traffic and breakdown of vehicles. But still the university is well connected. 

I forgot to add - the university also gets a farmers market every Tuesdays. You can pick up a lot of vegetables there. But it is recommended to go into Newcastle-under-Lyme if you wanted to do a bigger shop.

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my first ever video podcast! It is my first rambling video episode on the city of Chester. History is one of my interest and I thought I will create a video podcast on this channel using Google Maps. 

All of the information on this podcast can be found on Google as well as the Visit Chester & Cheshire and Visit Chester webpages. Also check out the English Heritage website about more info on the Agricola Tower and Castle Walls and Chester Roman Amphitheatre. I also recommend visiting the Dewa Roman Discovery Centre, Grosvenor Museum and the Chester Cathedral during your time in Chester. Of course, there is more to Chester than these places, such as Chester Zoo and the Cheshire Military Museum so make sure to check out what you want to do before you visit. But a lot of the places mentioned in my video are free to visit with the paid places also being worth your money, especially if you like history! #ChesterAndCheshire #chester #ChesterTweets #ExperienceChester #DewaRomanExperience #RomanBritain

If you are interested in staying somewhere affordable, I recommend the Youth Hostel Association or Travelodge. I am not affiliated in any way the links in the video. I am just sharing what I have used in the past.

Hello Everyone. This one is a bit of a different epidsode compared to my previous episode. It is about doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Its a scheme that young people aged 14 to 24 do in order to become confident, learn life skills and improve their employability. In this episode, I talk about the DofE and what I have learnt from doing the DofE. Do keep listening if you are more interested.

I have included the information on this podcast on my website too.

Hello Everyone. I have recorded a brief introduction into my BSc and my MSc courses that I undertook in the UK. I have a BSc in Natural Sciences and a MSc in Nutrition. I have included some information on what the courses entail, some assesment details and embloyability. As ever the information on my videos are from my point of view and my unviersity websites. 

My advice is to do your research thoroughly on these 2 courses you want to do. The assesments will have changed since I completed these courses, especially for my masters as I did the course during COVID. Employability of these courses can also vary depending on your interest after successful completion. If you can find some work experience in a laboratory, nutritionist clinic or an academice setting, please go for them as they could be beneficial in helping you make a decision about the course. 

Note: you cannot apply for a role of Dietitian in the NHS (National Health Service in the UK) after completing the Nutrition course. To be a dietitian in the UK, you will need to do a BSc or a 2 year MSc in Dietetics.

Happy to answer any questions via email: [email protected] or via Instagram or Twitter.
