Before starting my Masters Degree at Reading, I studied a BA in Graphic Design at the University of Brighton graduating in 2019. Since then I worked in a variety of jobs across the design industry before deciding to specialise and go back to study Book Design.
When I complete my Masters Degree I plan on working abroad in exciting studios and eventually hope to set up my own design studio too!

Safa
University of Reading
MPharm Pharmacy with Preparatory Year
Hello! My name is Safa and I’m a commuter student studying Pharmacy with preparatory year, wanting to pursue hospital pharmacy in the future.
My academic journey has not always been easy, especially because of COVID, when studying became particularly challenging. However, the experience pushed me to work harder than ever and has shaped me to become the person I am today.
My love for biological and chemical sciences since childhood, coupled with my dream to work in the healthcare industry lead me to studying chemistry, biology and psychology for A-levels and eventually taking on a volunteering role at a pharmacy for a week, which significantly influenced my decision to pursue pharmacy.
I’m a people person, always excited about helping others and creating a positive impact! So I’m here to share my experience and support prospective students with any questions regarding university and how it’s like studying at Reading university :)
