I'm an international student with a rich spectrum of experiences from living all over the world, from Asia to Europe to the Middle East. My journey has led me here, where I've recently progressed from a foundation year into my first year of English language and Linguistics—a subject I'm absolutely passionate about! I aspire to become a university teacher one day, sharing my love for linguistics with future students. When I'm not delving into my course, I'm a huge fan of Marvel and Star Wars, finding joy in the adventures these universes offer. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to message me!

Fleur
University of Essex
European Studies
Hello there, nice to meet you! My name is Fleur and I am studying European Studies at Essex. I love my course because it allows me to study a lot of different topics, such as history, politics, sustainability, philosophy, and even recently a bit of economics! While I'm not completely certain what I would like to do after leaving University, I know that I would like to contribute to making the world a better place, whether that be through working in social policy, a non-profit organisation, or an area contributing to reducing the climate crisis. Outside of university I am very interested in arts and crafts, and I love to curl up on a rainy day and crochet while listening to music, which is another hobby of mine. I love all things to do with music, playing musical instruments and listening to all different genres! I'm not incredibly sporty but I do enjoy going on walks in my beautiful hometown, along with swimming in pools and rivers (although the fish do scare me a bit). Archery is another interest of mine, and I've really enjoyed getting involved at the University Club!
