Meet Liam (subtitled) from Fife College on Vimeo.
I started my educational journey at Fife College at the Kirkcaldy campus, doing Administration and IT. I did my HND, then moved on to my degree in Business Management. I really enjoyed the marketing parts of the course which led me on to the University of Dundee afterwards where I studied a Masters degree in marketing.
I got a distinction for my MSc Management and Marketing degree after getting a 2:1 on my undergraduate degree.
I met some amazing lecturers while I was at Fife College. Some of them actually influenced me to go onto my Masters degree. They saw potential in me that I didn't yet see in myself. So it meant a lot that the lecturers had that faith in me.
Currently I am a PhD Management student and a lecturer at Abertay University.
I feel like I know how to talk to students, and how l can benefit them, knowing that I'm just a couple of years ahead of them on the journey. I am also an Entrepreneurial Executive for Young Enterprise Scotland delivering workshops to college students. So it's been really great for me to come back and feel like I'm making an impact on students' lives.
I am a BAFTA member, worked for 4J Studios (who are best known for developing a console version of Minecraft) and I also work with Student Minds - a charity specialising in mental health support for further education students and graduates.
Fife College is a lot more than just getting a piece of paper at the end. The Students' Association really care about students and have a lot of initiatives that impact people for the better. There's the breakfast club, and you have a lot of great restaurants and cafes on campus, and you have lecturers who want to help you think about what you could do beyond your college journey.
Fife College is great for setting up your career, setting up what you'll be doing for the next 40 or 50 years. It's a great bridge to get you where you want to be, and there's a lot more to it than just learning things. You become a better person, you're meeting a lot of great people and networking, and I wouldn't be where I am now without that experience.
