Hey there! I'm Mihini, a third-year undergrad studying Economics at UofG. I was born in Dubai, UAE and moved to Qatar when I was nine although I am originally from Sri Lanka. As an international student, I know how daunting moving to a different country and starting university can be and hopefully, UniBuddy will help ease some of that stress. I hope to answer any questions you may have about the university and my experiences and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

Morgan
University of Suffolk
BSc (Hons) Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation Science
I’m very passionate about the natural world and prefer to be outside rather than in. I’ve lived in the Northeast of England my entire life so moving across the country was a big life change, but it’s been entirely worth it! Following this course my ideal career would be one in ornithology or working with populations of endangered wild birds, which I’m very enthusiastic about and love to observe and photograph them whenever I can.

Postgraduate Taught Engineering
I am currently a postgraduate student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Warwick, with a strong passion for innovation at the intersection of technology, neuroscience, and mental health. My master's dissertation focuses on monitoring psychological stress and mental well-being using physiological signals, reflecting my deep interest in harnessing engineering solutions to address mental health challenges.
Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a PhD, and I am currently exploring opportunities in neuroscience, neural engineering, and mental health research. I am particularly fascinated by how physiological data can enhance our understanding of the brain, improve mental health interventions, and contribute to more effective, personalised treatments.
Beyond academics, I am eager to support and inspire prospective students, sharing insights about my journey and the exciting possibilities within biomedical engineering and interdisciplinary research.

Phoebe
University of Plymouth
BEd (Hons) Primary (KS1/KS2 with QTS)
After finishing my A-levels at small sixth form in 2019 (and a few gap years!), I started my university journey. It took me a long time to decide what path I wanted to take, so I very much relate to the uncertainty you might be feeling at this stage!
I am from a very rural village in Cornwall, so naturally love the outdoors. So, for someone not used to urban living, Plymouth is a great in-between! It has so much to offer, including a balance between city and coastal life.
I am now in my third (and final!) year of my BEd Primary Education degree, specialising in geography. After graduating in 2025, I hope to pursue a career in teaching and share my passion for educating for sustainability.
