    Jan 2011 - Dec 2014 (4 years)
    Class II Division 1. My dissertation topic was focused on student attitudes to drug legislation and drug abuse. The research-based nature of my degree has consolidated my ability to gather, investigate and assess material, understand and analyse issues and events, organise such material in a logical and coherent way and then concisely put forward ideas and arguments. Initiative is key at university, as well as teamwork; but what underpins my success is time management.
