Richard Dodd interviews two students (Rachel Smith and Nina Baranduin) who have just completed their second year Ecology and Conservation degree course at Nottingham Trent University.

During the interview we discuss their individual reasons and decision to go to university, their experience of studying under Covid-19 restrictions, placement year opportunities and life after studies.

Richard met with students whilst delivering a six-week career accelerator programme at Nottingham Trent University between May and July 2022. Students participating on the course were either completing their second or final year at NTU.
