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.

Alex
University of Glasgow
Sociology [MA/MA(SocSci)]
I am currently studying Sociology with my original aspiration of becoming a teacher. However, in studying at Glasgow I have been given the opportunity to study Politics/International Relations and History. By studying these extra subjects I have realised I have many career options with a job in Politics becoming more appealing. I would be interested in working with the public and have an interest in social issues. Out with university I enjoy going new places, meeting new people and can't wait to travel again soon. Glasgow is full of friendly faces so university has been great to easily connect with like minded people sharing my interests.

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!

Antony

Computer Science
Hey there! I'm a third-year computer science student from Tanzania. When I'm not buried in code, you can find me on the football field, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or battling it out in online battle royale games—I'm a bit of a gaming enthusiast. I've also got a thing for cars, their mechanics and design fascinate me. What really excites me, though, is the idea of merging my interests with artificial intelligence. The thought of blending manual processes with AI tech gets me fired up. So, fellow future students, remember that your passions can lead you to exciting places, and I can't wait to explore this journey with you!

Asiya
University of Essex
Childhood Studies
Growing up, I was privileged enough to only be surrounded by a lot of children within my family but also witness what children go through in the society, the mischief that they can get into and the social rejection that they might face. This made me develop an interest in children’s rights and their welfare. I have learnt more about social justice and child protection while studying at the university of Essex. My career goal is to work in the field of community development especially for the protection of children and creating safe environments for them as well as addressing the causes of criminal activities from a young age. I love reading and this has always been a way of keeping me informed as well as how I can be motivated to find new ways to solve different issues. I am interesting, I promise 😁.
