Hi! I'm Fatma, a second year Natural Sciences student at UEA. I mainly take modules in Biology and Chemistry. I really enjoy road cycling, hiking and just exploring new places.
I'm more than happy to talk about student life, university studies etc....
Hannah
University of Essex
Biochemistry
Hi, I’m Hannah and I am an undergraduate biochemistry student at the University of Essex. I loved biology and chemistry at A level which lead me on to choose my degree to find out about those subjects in more depth.
I like drawing and reading. I also love music, my favourite artist is Adele. And I also like playing on my piano
James
University of Warwick
Biochemistry (MBio)
I studied Biology, chemistry, maths and french for A levels and chose to do biochemistry at Warwick because of the opportunity to complete a paid research placement and complete your masters at the same time. I also love the campus vibes and felt very at home when I first visited.
I am passionate about research, especially in the field of antimicrobial resistance. In the summer I will be conducting a research project using AlphaFold to model the Enzymes involved in the production of a gram-negative enterobacterial cell surface protein called the O-antigen polysaccharide. The aim of the research is to build more accurate 3D models of the enzymes involved and test different ligands to see if they can act as inhibitors. These can then be tested for the ability to form novel antibiotics.
My career ambitions are not that clear to me yet. After my Industrial Masters I would I may want to go into a research role. However, I also have a passion for finance, so I am currently gaining experience in this industry alongside my degree so to have as many options as possible for the future.
Julia
Lancaster University
Ecology and Conservation
Hi! I’m Julia and I’m a third year Ecology and Conservation student who busies herself with dance and volunteering with GreenLancaster. I come from Singapore as an international student so do feel free to drop me a message whether it’s about my course or my life here at Lancaster, even if it is to calm the nerves of studying overseas! :)
Megan
Bangor University
Conservation
I’m a Bangor University student studying Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, despite not taking any science A-levels—proof that anything is possible if you follow your passion! My volunteer work at a local Owl sanctuary has sparked a deep interest in birds of prey, especially owls, and I hope to pursue a career in this field. I also manage social media for Greener Gwynedd (a university volunteer group) and volunteer with local wildlife groups, gaining hands-on conservation experience. Outside of uni, I love hiking and exploring the nature around North Wales, listening to music (especially Noah Kahan), reading, and playing video games.
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.
Rebecca
Lancaster University
Biochemistry
Hello, I'm Rebecca! I'm a Biochemistry student, with a specific interest in molecular biology, protein structure and function, and drug development. During my time at Lancaster, I've completed a placement year at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and a summer internship in the university labs. I've loved my time at university so far, highlights include watching the ducks on campus, losing pub quizzes, and going out for food with my friends! Feel free to ask me any questions about my experience at Lancaster, studying bioscience at university, or applying for an internship/placement!
Rosie
University of East Anglia UEA
Ecology and Conservation
I'm an aspiring ecologist studying at UEA. I'm really interested in all things to do with wildlife and the outdoors, so I'm loving studying Ecology and Conservation at uni!
Tomi
Swansea University
Medical Biochemistry, MSci (Hons)
Hi, I'm Tomi :)
I would describe myself as scientifically minded, with a systematic approach to working, and enthusiasm to learn and develop personal skills in a practical setting. A possible career goal may be to become a healthcare scientist, with the longer-term aspiration of moving into medical research/industry with a budding interest in consultancy work.
