Hi! I'm Nella. I'm from the East Coast of Spain and the Black Forest in Germany. I moved to Edinburgh for a volunteering gap year after finishing high school, and I liked Scotland so much I decided to stay! Moving to the North-East was a big change, but one of my favourite things to do now is to explore Aberdeen and the shire and find out about local events and all goings-on.

Hi! I'm Arun, a Level 2 Chemical Engineering student at University of Aberdeen. I made the exciting move to Aberdeen in 2023 to pursue my interest in chemical engineering. It really amazes me how the energy industry plays an vital role in our day-to-day life. It actually makes me to conserve the industry for the future without exploiting it to the core. I would love to make a difference in the energy industry by creating sustainable and productive solutions to the modern day problems faced by the industry. I would be happy to answer all your questions about the university, my studies, student life, city or anything else. Feel free to post your questions. Cheers:)

Hello there,
I am currently studying Information Technology with the goal of building a career in information systems protection.
Before I enrolled into the MSc IT at UoA, I worked as a freelance photographer, while running a photo printing and framing business. And before that, I co-founded a company that sought to connect customers to their favourite brands by helping them discover deals/discounts from these brands.
In between then and now, I have worked as an events management executive, and as a trainers' trainer.
Before moving to Aberdeen, I lived in Mauritius with my family.
I eagerly look forward to helping you settle in quickly.
