We're looking for those moments that stood out to you as an achievement, something you thought was pretty impressive, or something that has helped you to grow and find your way.

Wondering what we mean by moments?

From super small moments that mean something to you, to those big stand out ones, we want to hear them all! Maybe you got some great feedback on an assignment, you had an inspiring guest lecture, a placement you loved, or perhaps you were part of the winning team at big sports game. Perhaps you organised your first society social, you made your first case in the mock courtroom or you did a presentation in front of people for the first time. Whatever your moments are, we can't wait to hear them.

If you are selected to have your story featured in the campaign, it will be pretty easy going and won't be a big time commitment. We'll be flexible to your schedule. You'll just need to be comfortable with having your photo taken and having a short chat with a member of our team.

So go on, take a look at the form and take part in a project that will help future students understand more about the opportunities at university.
