University of SuffolkBSc (Hons) Dental Hygiene and TherapyHi, I’m Lily, a dental hygiene and therapy student at the University of Suffolk.

Natasha
University of EssexSpeech and Language TherapyHi! I’m Natasha, a second-year BSc Speech & Language Therapy student. My journey to SLT wasn't a straight line. I previously worked professionally as a singer and performing arts teacher, but my path changed when my father suffered a stroke while living abroad. Seeing the gaps in his rehabilitation and his struggle to access speech therapy sparked a deep desire in me to help others find their voice. I decided to take the leap as a mature student to turn my fascination with the voice into a career that makes a real-life impact. Life on Course My favourite parts of the degree so far have been the clinical placements. There is nothing quite like being out in the field to cement your learning and put all that theory into perspective! I’ve also particularly enjoyed the dysphagia workshops, which are fascinating. Beyond the Lecture Theatre When I’m not studying, I’m usually found on stage. I’m currently in rehearsals for 9 to 5, playing the gossiping office manager, Roz! I am also very active in university life as a Student Rep, Student Ambassador, and Vice President of the SLT Society. As a disabled student on campus, I am also happy to chat about navigating university life, accessing support, or what the inclusive environment is like here. My Top Tip If I could give you one piece of advice: Make the most of your lecturers! They are experts in their fields, and the conversations you have with them outside of formal lessons are absolutely invaluable. Whether you're curious about being a mature student, performing arts, or the specifics of the SLT course, please feel free to reach out. I’m here to help! Paula

My academic journey began right here with the King’s International Foundation (Bio & Chem), giving me a solid transition into my current degree. I’m deeply passionate about cognitive neuroscience, with a specific focus on the fascinating link between sleep and memory. I planning to pursue further studies in the UK or Hong Kong to deepen after graduation.
