Hattie

University of Reading

MSci Speech and Language Therapy B62M

Hi! I started at Reading in 2021 and have loved every minute! Transitioning straight from sixth form to uni definitely felt like a big step but knowing other people were in the same boat as me was very reassuring. I moved here from a small town and now love the mixture of beautiful campus and bustling town centre. Helping others has always been a passion of mine so doing a course which works towards a career dedicated to this is super rewarding, and I would love to work with children in the future. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have so ask away!

BSc Psychology with Professional Placement

I am a fourth year Psychology student hoping to attain a role as a clinical psychologist, working with young people and supporting them with their mental health difficulties. I recently completed a placement year with CAMHS NHS which I really enjoyed and am always ready to talk about my Placement! Aside from Psychology, I have a huge passion for fashion and interior design and wish to pursue that alongside my career. I come from Slough and I am also a first generation university student. I have both commuted and lived out so I have had a range of experiences at the uni!

Ivan

University of Reading

BA Politics and Economics

I’m passionate about understanding how politics and economics shape the world around us, which inspired me to pursue a BA in Politics and Economics at the University of Reading. Studying A-level Economics sparked my interest in policy-making and its real-world impacts, driving my ambition to work in a political advisory firm. I’m excited by the idea of bridging public and private sectors to tackle key challenges and create meaningful change. Through my degree and extracurricular activities, I’m developing the analytical and communication skills needed to influence decisions and contribute to solutions that make a difference in society.
