Headline: A day in the life of a [course name] student at ARU London

Content:

Create a short “day in the life” video showing what studying your course at ARU London actually looks like. The video should be specific to your course, not just a general student day. Show the classes, tasks, study habits, materials, projects, or routines that make your course experience unique.

Examples could include: a day in the life of a business student, a day in the life of a law student, a day in the life of a health and social care student, or a day in the life of a finance and accounting student.

Key Messages — Ideas to include:

• What a normal study day looks like in your course.

• What kind of classes, tasks, or projects do you work on?

• What skills does your course help you build?

• How do you balance lectures, independent study, and student life?

• What students should know before joining your course.

Suggested Hooks — Lead with a Thought or Question:

• “Come with me for a day as a [course name] student at ARU London.”

• “What does a day as a [course name] student actually look like?”

• “If you’re thinking about studying [course name], watch this.”

• “A realistic day in my life as a [course name] student.”

• “Nobody tells you this about studying [course name]…”

🎥 What to Show + Filming Tips:

Capture a mix of:

• Arriving on campus

• Course materials, books, notes, a laptop, or specialist resources

• Lecture or study prep moments

• Group work, independent study, or assignment planning

• Breaks, campus spaces, and end-of-day reflection

• Make sure the course is obvious throughout the video. Avoid making it too generic.
