Hi! I am Matthew, and I am one of your Community Exe Student Leaders, primarily working with the Young Leaders strand. I am a current Law LLB student here at the University of Exeter, and aspiring barrister! It has been great to meet so many of you participants at our award days, but for those of you who haven’t, here is a rundown of myself!
To start off, I am from Weymouth, in Dorset, which is only around 60 miles (1.5 hour) drive away! It’s most famous for its beaches, historic harbour, Georgian Esplanade, and being within the Jurassic Coast – a UNESCO World Heritage Area. Part of this is why we hosted the Sailing Events in the 2012 Olympics. Before I came to Exeter, I studied at The Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester. My GCSEs consisted of Biology, Business, Chemistry, English Language and Literature, History, Health and Social Care, Maths, Theology and Ethics, Spanish, and Physics. In my A-Levels, I studied Law, Economics and Politics, and here I realised that Law was what I was passionate about, as it was by far my most interesting subject – with my interest stemming from studying tort law and human rights law. In this time, I also was part of Exeter’s 16th Cohort of Pathways to Law students, which opened opportunities for myself relating to studying law and law in practice.
