SENA

Hi, I'm Sena Guvercin and I study law at Oxford Brookes University, and I love it.

OLLIE

I'm Ollie Silverton, and I work in the sports media industry. I travel around the world making viral videos.

My name is Mo Ahmed. I'm a crew manager with the London Fire Brigade. It's the best job in the world.

RE isn't a boring subject where you just have to sit down and learn about different religions. It's just studying to understand different perspectives and learning how to respect them, which kind of opens doors to all sorts of careers.

OLLIE

Studying RE definitely helps me understand how religious beliefs influence different countries and cultures and this helps me in my day to day job whenever I'm travelling.

At school, I studied RE. It's given me a great understanding of all the different communities that we serve. If you've got a real good understanding of cultures and religions, then it can only help you to be a better firefighter.

SENA

To study law, I believe the main essential skill would be to debate. And I don't think I would have learned how to do that if I hadn't studied RE.

I know there are people alive today that wouldn't be if it wasn't for the work of all my colleagues within the brigade.

SENA

I am really happy that I studied RE in school, because RE was the main subject that pushed me towards University. Now I'm on my way to becoming a lawyer. And that is a big dream come true for me.

OLLIE

My job is amazing. It really doesn't feel like work most of the time, which sounds like something I shouldn't say, but that's the beauty of it. I absolutely love what I do.
