‘ Since being at London Met I’ve been president of the LGBT Society. I have also been the student representative on the University’s disability focus group; working to make the University more accessible…I dream of starting a charity supporting disabled 18-to 40- year-old people to open up their world beyond what society dictates is acceptable. The University has taught me that everyone deserves a chance.’ Susan Cook, president of the LGBT society, Reach volunteer, student representative for the University’s disability focus group and BSc Community Development and Leadership student

‘ Make friends, enjoy London, get stuck in with what’s happening around you and don’t waste opportunities. ’

> 15

Ellie de Rose, entertainment editor at Verve Magazine, BA Creative Writing and Journalism student, and peer mentor. What do you enjoy about working at Verve? It’s an open platform for any student to write about what really interests them, and that kind of freedom is such a great opportunity...it’s student led and it’s made for students, so working on Verve creates a brilliant sense of community between everyone. Why did you want to work at the magazine? I was really up for getting involved and making the most of what was happening with the University. Plus it was a guaranteed way to get published, which is great for the CV and immediately gives you an advantage in a job application scenario. What kind of career path are you hoping to follow after graduation? I have a lot of ideas and I don’t know which to chase first... I love journalism and I love writing fiction so my aim is to pursue both, perhaps on a freelance basis. Otherwise, in terms of full time work, I’d want to be somewhere like the Press Association and work in features, or else approach literary agents and publishing companies. Top tips for new students? Time is going to fly while you’re at university, so enjoy it... make friends, enjoy London, get stuck in with what’s happening around you and don’t waste opportunities. You’ll get out of it as much as you put into it. Best bits about London Met? My teachers are amazing (and I don’t mind if they find out by reading this) and they’ve always encouraged me. Their passion is infectious and they’ve helped fuel the fire for doing what I really love.

Proud to be London Met

Student ambassadorsStudent ambassadors play an important role in helping to promote life at London Met. As well as helping at our open days and HE Fairs, as an ambassador you could be visiting local schools and colleges to raise the aspirations of students from under-represented backgrounds by talking about your university experience, or actively assisting them through long-term interventions such as the Peer Mentoring project, partnership school activities and the Upward Bound Programme. What’s more, our ambassador positions are paid and look fantastic on your CV.

SportsJoining the rugby team or taking up Aikido isn’t just about getting fit; it’s also a great way to have fun, make new friends and gain excellent teamwork skills. Cheerleading, football, basketball, squash, cricket, tennis and hockey are just a few of the sports in which you can participate.

Our rugby team regularly represents London Met in the British Universities College Sports (BUCS) championships and is proud to have recently won the 4B South East League Division.

‘ The Union needs a leadership that is focused and that has direction, someone that...will stand his/her ground to fight for the right of the students ’

> 23

Ayoola Onifade, Students’ Union president and BSc Biomedical Science student. Why did you want to be president of the SU? I decided to compete for the presidency because I wanted to represent the interests of my fellow students. Knowing that there are a lot of cuts and increases in fees at the University and in the educational sector in the country, the Union needs a leadership that is focused and that has direction, someone that...will stand his/her ground to fight for the right of the students. What was your vision for the Students’ Union when you became president? To implement the decision taken years ago by the Board of Governors to make the Students’ Union independent and hence register the Union as a charity, which will give me the opportunity to create jobs or avenues for job opportunities in the Union for the students. Being independent as regards job opportunities means we can run our own business. What has being president taught you about yourself? That I have the potential to effect changes by constructively getting involved in my environment, that I have the heart to take up challenges and to consult relevant people that can advise and assist with whatever challenge I might face. What kind of career path are you hoping to follow after graduation? Education (medical line) - my aim is to have a leading educational consultancy firm which will anchor its services on quality and affordable education and putting students first. Top tips for new students? Study hard...play considerably but always remember, procrastination is the thief of time, so put your primary aim first...

I joined London Met in 2004, and began working with Professor Simon Hallsworth* on a number of research projects that have attempted to establish the reality of ‘gangs’ in the UK and the offending profile of ‘gang’ groups. I have spent the last 8–9 years contextualising and redefining the ‘gang’. My work offers a critical appraisal of the dominant discourse around gang-related violence. I worked for various organisations, including the Metropolitan Police, The Youth Justice Board, Borough Councils and charities that want to understand gang behaviour. I’m an applied social researcher, so I have done a great deal of empirical research with young people involved in street-based groups or ‘gangs’. Over the last decade, I have worked on a number of projects focusing on ‘gangs’. One, commissioned by the Youth Justice Board, looked at young women’s involvement in gang-related offending. The research found that, contrary to the American literature on gangs, there were no initiation rituals amongst the UK groups sampled and that young women’s involvement in street-based groups, fighting, and weapons use, was largely minimal in comparison to their male peers. I also teach quite a bit. This semester I am running a new module – it is very popular, with 196 students on it! The focus of the module is on the engagement of youth in crime and violence. It offers a critical perspective of some of the dominant theories about young people’s involvement in deviant and law-breaking behaviour. In the module I share some of my findings so the students always have access to new research. * Previously the director of London Met’s Centre for Social

and Evaluation Research (CSER)

I got involved with the Student Enterprise Programme back in 2011. I was told about it by a fellow graduate from London Met (Thomas Kulbokas – Made in Shoreditch, Nearby Digital). I remember meeting him for a coffee and him telling me about these University facilities where you could use shared office space and meeting rooms for free (initially). I thought it was great and got in touch with the person then in charge (Matthew Connelly) and he contacted me a couple of weeks later as soon as there was something available.

I had started my business from my bedroom and was renting meeting rooms at a Christian place in central London which, at the time, was taking a considerable chunk of my income. Having a base at the Accelerator really helped me establish my company and give an image of professionalism.

Once at the Accelerator, I met other entrepreneurs and accessed multiple business development seminars and workshops. All of this really inspired me and helped me turn my bedroom business into a fast growing enterprise now encompassing a music management company (Intruder Records/Tidal Wave Records), a music law consultancy (Avenant Law) and a music contracts web store (MusicLawContracts.com).

During my degree I had the opportunity to sample multiple areas of knowledge and interact with people of different backgrounds and skills. This experience made me what I am today and shaped my work ethic. I was never interested in leaving university and working for a company for the next 30 years. I wanted to go out there and gain some work experience with companies I looked up to and then start my own enterprise. London Met gave all the tools and skills necessary to accomplish just this.

‘ The Careers Service at London Met has been extremely useful and gave me the opportunity to develop confidence in writing my CV, cover letters, applications for graduate schemes and interviews. After applying for several roles, I started an internship in a small company. During the internship, I was still applying for other jobs and the Careers Service has been always available to support me. After a few months of perseverance, I finally found the job I really wanted – at Bloomberg, the world leading financial information provider. I was at Bloomberg for 3 years working as an analyst where I gained experience of working in a global company. I recently moved on and I now work at Royal Bank of Scotland as an associate in the investment banking division.’ Fabio Massaro, BA Marketing graduate

Doing my degree at London Met helped my passion for PR grow. I was introduced to ex-industry professionals, who used their experience to teach me, and other programmes which encouraged that passion. Programmes such as the ‘Work Placement module’ gave me hands-on experience and the ‘Study Abroad Programme’ enabled me to visit the University of Tennessee Martin and learn about communications in the USA. It was whilst in the USA I came across the Talk PR internship; at the time I was very interested in working at a PR agency. When I returned to the UK, I researched further into the internship and came across the Taylor Bennett Foundation which surprisingly was starting a few days after my birthday - definitely a sign.

My traineeship with the Taylor Bennett Foundation was a great experience. Having Talk PR sponsor the programme was a bonus; the agency introduced me to a sector of PR I had never experienced before. The 10 week programme gave me all the practical experience I needed to back up the theory I learnt at London Met.

Having done my degree, it prepared me for presentations, writing press releases and targeting different media. For example modules such as ‘Public Relations Strategy’ helped when simulating targeted campaigns for brands such as D&G. However, the main skill my degree gave me was the confidence to present. Public speaking and presenting is a key skill to have in the industry, and my three year degree gave me more than enough practice.

Volunteering London Met’s Reach team offers students the chance to gain vital employability skills through volunteering placements. East End Citizens Advice Bureau, St Mungo’s, Springboard for Children and the Terrence Higgins Trust are just a few of the not-for-profit organisations in which students have worked as witness service volunteer workers, volunteer receptionists, trainee advisers, literacy tutors, freelance magazine writers and assistant manager interns.

Volunteering is a great opportunity to build your confidence and your CV, and has a positive impact on the local community and further afield.

The London 2012 Olympics: Students at London Met took part in one of Britain’s most memorable events by volunteering as games makers and officials at the Olympics. 160 were also employed to bolster the Games’ security operation. ‘Volunteering is a fantastic way to develop your skills...It allows you to apply what you learn in the classroom to a real-world situation, with tangible results. Not only are you giving back to the organisation and the community, but you get great material for your CV, valuable contacts and a rewarding experience.

Voluntary organisations want you to get the most out of your time and often go out of their way to make sure that you develop the skills that you want and need. Showing that you volunteered really lets future employers know that you are reliable and committed.’

Camille Acosta, Assistant Project Manager, Rowan Arts

Choosing to study at London Met was one of the best decisions I ever made. With the campus situated in the heart of the city of London it was easy to network with City professionals and make practical sense of the complex financial and economic theories I learnt in class.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course content and the way the lectures, workshops and assessments were impeccably delivered and administered. As a single mother I received incredible support and guidance from both teaching and non-teaching staff during my studies at London Met.

In my second year, I enrolled on the Short Work Placement Module with BusinessWorks, as part of my study programme. With the amazing support and guidance of London Met’s BusinessWorks and the Careers Service, I managed to secure a five-week placement as an accounts officer. This helped me sharpen my employability skills and further prepared me for the corporate world, as later on I secured a well-paid summer internship with Barclays Capital through SEO London. Before the start of my final semester, I began applying for investment banking graduate positions. Goldman Sachs shortlisted and invited me to take part in two assessment centres.

Thereafter, in December 2010 I was offered a full-time position as a derivatives funding operations analyst on the 2011 Graduate Programme. My job entails liquidity management, risk and control management, amongst various other complex tasks. I really enjoy my role and the people I work with at Goldman Sachs. It feels even more rewarding to find that a lot of the course material I learnt at London Met is relevant to my work at Goldman Sachs and to present day society.

It is very important that young people in the United Kingdom are given the opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial ideas. ’ His Royal Highness the Duke of York during a recent visit to London Met.

I was born in Ghana, West Africa. After undergraduate study, I was called to the Bar in 1985 at the Inner Temple. I completed my pupillage at 9 Stone Buildings, Lincoln’s Inn and began working at Tooting and Balham Law Centre as a housing lawyer. Working at the Law Centre was a fantastic experience – for the first time I had control of my own case load and could go to court without having to be instructed by a solicitor beforehand.

In 1989 (while employed at the Law Centre) I returned to my studies and obtained an LLM. During my masters, I focused on areas such as immigration, civil litigation, landlord and tenant, and African family law.

I have been a member of staff at London Met since 1989. I taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in the areas of property, immigration and asylum and evidence, and am now an academic leader.

Over the years I have seen so many people achieve extraordinary things time and time again. That is why we say that we provide excellent education which is still affordable.

Anyone thinking of going into the legal profession needs to consider that the profession is extremely competitive and those who come from certain backgrounds do have an advantage such as contacts and confidence.

However, in my opinion (based on my 24 years at London Met), prospective students will find that academics hold a fundamental belief that it does not matter what your background is – you have the potential to succeed if you are willing to work hard and to believe in yourself as we believe in you. What has helped me in my career is a belief in my own ability, hard work, and the importance of building good relationships with whoever you come across in life.

Is it worth it in the end?We think so, but don’t just take our word for it:People with degrees earned an average of £12,000 a year more than non-graduates over the past decade, statistics show BBC website, April 2011

When you balance the cost of tuition fees against the higher employment and earning potential of having a degree it’s easier to think of it as an investment.

Your earning and employment potential with London Met is assured – London Met is the number 1 modern university for UK graduate starting salaries (Sunday Times University Guide, 2012). See our careers page for more (p.40).

‘Students come to see us with all sorts of concerns, ranging from money problems to health issues. We help ease these worries by directing students to the help they need, leaving them with clear minds so they can approach their studies with the rigour necessary to be a success.’ Alison Jones, administration manager, Student Services

How do I pay? All students need to pay half their tuition fees on their first day – if you have a student loan, your fees are paid directly by the student loans company – you just need to show proof of this when you enrol. If you are paying your own tuition fees, then after you pay the first half, the rest can be paid in instalments up to three months after your course starts, either online or in person in a range of ways.

Top tip: apply as soon as you can for your student loan, as they can be lengthy to process

I work for a company called Valtech as a front end web developer specialising in HTML, CS5 and Java Script. I love working in London and feel privileged to do a job that I enjoy a lot.

I think having multimedia on your CV definitely stands out for employers – that’s one of the things they are looking for. It helps having experience of a broad range of different subjects that they cover in a multimedia degree – I’m specialising in front end web development but it helps to have the background skills – Photoshop, being able to do video editing if need be.

The extra things that I did at Uni helped me a lot – things like working for the WoW Agency for example. Another module we did was about presentation skills. In my job I’ve had to do presentations to 30 people – that module really helped me. I found that having confidence in what I’m saying counts for a lot.

Winning the prize for best undergraduate Multimedia project at London Met gave me huge confidence going into the workplace, it’s the sort of thing that stands out on a CV and proves to employers that you can meet your goals.

I eventually want to be a senior consultant, ideally here at Valtech, if not, maybe in the future do some contracting work, and in the far future maybe have my own design agency.
