As a university student the way I learn compared to when I was at level 3 in my BTEC course is similar to university, as I'm expected to use the same type of the skills but I've gone on to develop these as a university student. With the skills like team work, organising and communication I was expected to use these. They enabled me to learn and progress as I had to apply my own knowledge and make the links between theoretical learning by using research and skills and apply them to work related contexts and case studies. At John Moores I am expected to use the same types of learning skills but to a higher level and advance the skills which I had already learnt.

During my second year I am planning to take action to achieve a career in the sector that I want to work in, preferably marketing. I want to find some volunteering/ work experience by taking advantage of the resources and help given to me by the university like career fairs and networking with employers and also use the mini guides provided by John Moores to find the work experience that I need.
