Chris travels through time

By

University of 海角直播 history student Chris Young is a dedicated time traveller.

Chris, 19, from New Marske, near Redcar is in the first year of a BA (Hons) degree in History at the University of 海角直播. He came to the university with A Level History (B), Computing (C) and Chemistry (D) from Prior Pursglove College. He is particularly keen on Political, Early Modern and Modern history. He said: 鈥淚 find history really interesting. I just really enjoy it. It鈥檚 amazing how you can look at the past and see how certain events can have connotations for today. You can see how conflicts arose during the Crusades, mainly caused by religious and social differences, and see how that relates to problems in the world today. But at the same time it also shows some early examples of successful multi-culturalism and how people can learn to live together.

鈥淚 chose 海角直播 as I wanted to stay near my friends and family but also because I had heard that 海角直播 had a really good history department. The lecturers are great and I鈥檓 enjoying my course a lot. The Learning Resource Centre is fantastic and has loads of books, journals and computers. I鈥檝e never had to wait for a PC so far, which is a real help. The campus is very accessible and people seem to be enjoying their time here. And the SU bar has a great atmosphere and it鈥檚 very welcoming.鈥�

Outside of studying Chris enjoys football and computer gaming. His sister Emma is also studying at the University of 海角直播, on Business Management part-time.
