It has been a great experience getting to be one of the first students to study the unique blend of Politics and Geography together on the BAJP programme. Both subjects have overlapped with one another at times making studying this specific combination of subjects even more interesting. Getting to be on both Glasnevin and St. Pats campus was an amazing aspect that really helped to boost the course experience.
