• "University of You" from Chester.
• Chester, this clip seems quite old, a more updated one would look better.
• Just various university clips giving you a tour of there campus and what student life's like.
• Kahn Academy.
• University of Chester.
• University of Southampton advertisement seemed very interesting and inspiring, it grabbed my attention. Oxford university video about the history department was very informative and interesting and showed student and tutor points of views which was useful.
