  • Finding Your Path Into Higher Education
    2021/07/21
    Achieving higher level qualifications can open doors to better careers, higher earnings or more life choices. Nia speaks to three women who didn’t go to university from school. Each has taken a different route to pursue a university education – Emma, Brittany and Louise have each faced their own challenges, they talk about tackling imposter syndrome, recognising the value of the life experience they bring to their studies and their ambitions for the future. Nia is also joined by Ceri Nicole from First Campus Reaching Wider who talks about the student support available and different initiatives in place to ensure that more adults get their chance to progress to university.

  • Continuing Education as a Young Carer
    2021/03/16
    Right now, there are 800,000 children in the UK who can be defined as young carers. Because of illness, disability or addiction, they juggle their schoolwork with looking after a family member or friend who cannot cope without support. On this episode, Nia catches up with Rose and Natalia; two inspirational young carers who found themselves looking after their mums at a really early age, and who have overcome barriers to study at university. Ceri Nicolle from First Campus Reaching Wider also talks to Nia about the opportunities available for young carers looking to extend their education.

  • Studying Behind Bars
    2020/09/24
    Two former inmates tell Nia about the impact studying in prison had on their lives.

    Jonathan Gilbert was a practising solicitor who got sentenced to 12 years for his part in a large fraud. Johnny put this experience to good use in prison and enrolled on a masters in counter fraud and counter corruption. He's now teaching at Cardiff University.

    Garry Parkinson promised his late mum he'd turned his back on crime after spending 10 of the last 12 years in prison. He gained multiple qualifications behind bars and is now trying to put that to good use on the outside.

    Nia is also joined by Clare Lloyd from the Prisoners' Education Trust to talk about the effect education has on the life chances of former prisoners.
