MA Communication Design: Book Design Pathway

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.

Neha

University of Reading

BSc Psychology with Professional Placement

Hey there! I’m Neha – a British-Indian Psychology student currently on my placement year, working towards my goal of becoming a psychologist and supporting people with mental health challenges.

If you have questions about placements, I’ve got you! I’m currently doing one myself and would love to share insights.

Outside of studies, I’m involved in a few cultural societies on campus, and I can tell you all about the vibrant, diverse community here – from fun events to the best food spots around! I love coffee catch-ups, music, and traveling when I get the chance.

Whether it’s about the course, campus life, or anything in between, feel free to drop me a message – I’m here to help! 😊

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 :)
