Amari
Coventry UniversityPsychology BSc (Hons)Hi, I’m Amari! I’m a Psychology student at Coventry University with a real passion for understanding people — how we think, communicate, and behave. My background blends academic curiosity with hands‑on experience in marketing, design, and student engagement, so I love connecting ideas from different fields and bringing them into real-life projects on campus. I’m actively involved in university life through events, ambassador roles, and creative work, which means I’ve seen a lot of what makes Coventry feel like a community. Whether you’re wondering about the course, student life, or how to settle in, I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned along the way. Looking ahead, I’m working towards a career in marketing and consumer behaviour, where I can combine psychology, creativity, and communication to help brands understand people better. I’m constantly building my skills through online courses, work experience, and campus opportunities, so if you’re someone who’s exploring different paths too, I get it. Feel free to message me about anything, uni, the course, living in Coventry, or even future career ideas. I’m here to help and am always up for a good conversation. Amirah

Leeds Beckett UniversityPsychology | BSc (Hons)Hi, I’m Amy! I'm a mature student, commuter, dog lover and a firm believer that it is never too late to go to uni. I’m really passionate about Psychology and I hope to go on and complete a Master's once I have finished my undergrad. I’ve lived local to the uni my whole life and I know the area like the back of my hand. Please feel free to ask me absolutely ANYTHING, no question is silly, too small or not worth asking! Caitlyn
University of EssexPsychologyHello! I am Caitlyn, I am a 1st year undergraduate student at the University of Essex. I study psychology with cognitive neuroscience and following my degree I intend to pursue either speech and language therapy or educational psychology. I am most passionate about helping others and trying to bring more joy to the world overall. University was such an unreal idea in my head originally as my family aren't well-off and nobody in my family had ever attended university before me - but here I am, and I would encourage others to take the plunge as well!

University of NorthamptonBsc PsychologyI am 50 years of age, originally from Glasgow in Scotland and left school in 1989, with 8 O' Grades (GCSE’s) and 5 Higher (A Levels). Desperate for a new adventure and to start working and earning, I applied for a job in Television Production in London. I successfully worked for an independent company in Soho, initially as a Production Runner, progressing finally to Production Manager. I returned to Glasgow for a year, to work for BBC Scotland as Production Manager, before taking time out to travel in 1999. I travelled throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and America for 2 years. On return, I moved to Brighton, East Sussex where I worked for American Express, a lifestyle magazine called Venus, and as a volunteer for the Brighton Unemployed Family project, between 2001 and 2012. Brighton is where I met my husband and went on to have two children, a girl, and a boy. Ava who is now 15 years old and Lochlan who is 13. 8 years ago, my Husbands job transferred to their other site near Leamington, bringing the family to the midlands. We now live in the village of Weedon, a half-hour drive, west of Northampton. Since living in Weedon I have completed 7 years working in primary education. I began working in Special Needs as a 1:1 and in my 5th year at Weedon Primary, I completed an HLTA course through Northampton University, qualifying me to teach years 1 to 6 in primary school. I have trained in Autism, Attachment Disorder, Dyslexia, Speech, and language among others. I ran nurture groups and introduced a kinaesthetic approach to a lot of my teaching, after researching its efficacy in primary schools. During my school career, I have been fascinated by how children learn. Some by doing, others by seeing. I have come to love the continual questions from children and the challenge and adventure of not always knowing the answers. Throughout my working life, I have loved interacting with people, obsessing over human behaviour and how the mind works and influences decisions. My favourite literature often tackles aspects of psychology and I find it an extremely exciting and alluring subject. Throughout the lockdown period, it became apparent that I was not fully satisfied with my career and felt I was ready to learn and take on a new challenge. My initial thought was to go into Educational Psychology but with more investigation, I decided it was time to move away from education and start something new. My next thought was counselling, which I am still very much keen on exploring and could see a possible future career. As a volunteer in Brighton Unemployed Centre Family Project, I assisted low-income families and homeless people, realising my ability to listen sensitively and offer solace. Completing a course for the British College of Journalism a few years ago, I gained skills in reporting and analysing as well as fuelling my curiosity in psychology. I wrote articles on social, biological, and cognitive psychology. From a piece on music and memory to another on psychology in pain management. Having completed a year of the single honours psychology course I now feel the career direction I want to go into is counselling psychology. I have recently secured a part-time job locally with the group of Northampton psychiatric hospitals (NHFT) and ideally, would love to complete my master's within the NHS but if not I will probably stay at the University of Northampton to complete my master's in counselling.
