Reza
City St George's, University of London
Finance with Actuarial Science BSc (Hons)
I am a second-year student at City, University of London, currently pursuing a degree in Actuarial Science (I’m sure you haven’t heard much about this course!). My academic journey has been shaped by diverse experiences across different countries. Originally from Pakistan, I was raised in the UAE, where I developed a strong passion for both academics and sports. Representing the UAE at the U16 national level in cricket was a proud moment that taught me the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
After completing my IGCSEs in the UAE, I moved to the UK at 17 to further my education. I completed a foundation course at Kaplan, which prepared me for the rigorous academic environment at university. My dedication paid off when I secured admission into City, where I’m now delving into the world of risk and probability through my studies in Actuarial Science.
At City, I’m focused on excelling academically while also developing a well-rounded skill set for a successful career in actuarial science. My journey from Pakistan to the UAE and now to the UK has been one of growth, learning, and embracing new challenges, and I’m excited to see where it takes me next.

In the short term, I’m aiming to become a credit risk analyst, as I’m really interested in financial analysis, risk assessment, and understanding how markets work behind the scenes. I’m still exploring and building my path step by step — that’s part of the journey!
Outside of academics, I’m big on self-improvement. You’ll probably find me at the gym, working on building both physical and mental strength. I also love watching American TV series — fun fact: I used to dream about becoming a cop in Los Angeles (yes, influenced by TV 😄).
As an international student, I understand how exciting and overwhelming university life can feel. Whether you have questions about studying Econ & Finance, adjusting to uni life, or planning your career direction, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to share my experience!

Finley
Lancaster University
Management and Business
I studied Business, Maths, and Computer Science at A-level at my local sixth form and achieved grades of ABC. These grades were enough to get me accepted into my first choice, Lancaster University, to study accounting and finance. However I realised during my first year that Accounting and Finance wasn’t the right course for me, and I decided to move to business management, where I really enjoyed the entrepreneurship module so decided to go into 2nd year on the Business Management (entrepreneurship) course. The current career path I am exploring is business consulting; I feel it suits my personality well and it is a well established industry. During my free time, I regularly go to the gym, and play football with my friends.
