Outside academics, I enjoy drawing, playing badminton, and teaching, which allows me to connect, share knowledge, and inspire curiosity.

MSci Integrated Natural Sciences
Hi! I am the resident Northern Irish on the Integrated Natural Sciences course. Thanks to my older siblings I feel like I had a head start on approaching university. While I am not an international student I am one of the few domestic students that needs to head to an airport or port to get home.
I plan to finish my masters at Warwick and then do a Phd elsewhere, I have not given much thought to all the details yet.

Hi I’m Emily!
I’m in my second year studying Earth and Environmental Science, with the hopes of becoming a volcanologist in the future. I’d swapped from studying Geography last year, so am able to answer questions on either degree. I’ve loved living on campus and in town, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about the uni or Lancaster in general :)
I’m also on the study abroad scheme so can answer any enquiries about this.
Esther
Bangor University
Medical Sciences
Starting medical school was both exciting and slightly overwhelming, as I fortunately received an offer through clearing. At Bangor University, I’ve learned that medicine isn’t just about studying—it’s about adapting, growing, and finding balance. While Bangor may not be the biggest city, its supportive atmosphere and hands-on learning made it a great place to begin my journey. With mountains to hike, lakes to explore, and breathtaking scenery all around, there’s always a way to escape the stress of studying. My time at Bangor has also given me the opportunity to explore nearby cities, allowing me to discover new places and fully enjoy the experience of traveling.
Outside of medicine, I stay active through athletics, enjoy cooking (and eating!), unwind with movie nights, and stay grounded through Bible study.

Hi! I'm an international student from Singapore currently studying a joint honours degree course at Strathclyde. I chose to study here at quite the last minute because I changed my mind about what I wanted to pursue and Strathclyde allows me to do joint honours for a combination of subjects which is not offered by most universities. I have been really enjoying my classes so far and I am looking forward to my remaining years ahead at university! Feel free to ask me questions about being an international student, student life, or what it's like in Glasgow :D
