Hi! I’m Pooja, and I’ve been living in Bangor since 2021. I completed my Master’s in Molecular Medicine and am currently pursuing a PhD focused on wastewater monitoring for pathogenic fungal infections and antifungal resistance. I aspire to be a scientist who can contribute to improving public health and quality of life through meaningful research.

Sara
University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Engineering
Hello! I’m Sara, and I’ve been part of the University of Strathclyde for quite a while now. I joined for the first time in 2018, first for my Bachelor's, then for my Master's, and now as a PhD researcher in Architecture.
I’m originally from Italy, where I studied at an art school before moving to Scotland to study architecture: a path that has allowed me to combine my passion for art, design, and the way people experience spaces.
When I’m not reading papers and working on my research, I enjoy going to parks and botanical gardens (when it’s not too rainy!), going to the cinema or theatre with friends, or even just having a relaxing day in a café reading a good book.
Having lived in Glasgow for several years now, I’ve come to really appreciate what it has to offer, from its creative energy to its welcoming atmosphere for international students.
If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to share my experiences about studying and living here, as well as what it’s like to progress through undergraduate, master’s, and PhD studies in architecture.

Shiam
Brunel University of London
Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Hello,
I’m Shiam Rahman, and I’m currently studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Brunel University.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by electronic devices and how they work. Electrical engineering is like the "black magic" of engineering—it’s all happening behind the scenes, and yet, every little interaction, like the click of a button, is the result of someone’s design and innovation. I’m excited to dive deeper into how these systems work and, one day, be part of the tech industry that shapes our future.
Beyond engineering, I have a strong passion for art and design. I love drawing and painting people, and I also have skills in graphic design, image manipulation, and animation. My creative side really complements my technical interests, and I enjoy finding ways to blend the two.
At Brunel, I also work as a Student Recruitment and Widening Access Ambassador. It’s such a rewarding experience, and I love being part of a community that is all about supporting each other. Brunel is a fantastic place to study, make new friends, and take advantage of amazing facilities and support. I’d love to see you here!

Viktoria
University College Birmingham
Business Enterprise
I have always been ambitious and striving for better and always wanted to start my own business. Which is the reason I have started reading business literature 15 years ago. However, I have realized that I would need something in addition to become a successful entrepreneur. And this is the reason I came to the tipping point of my life and decided to become a Business Enterprise student. After I have conducted quite a broad reasearch I choose UCB, and this happen to be the best decision I have ever made in my life. The support from the University and the teachers is outstanding.
