Within Natural Sciences, I study modules on the biology and psychology pathways with some of my favourite areas being evolutionary biology, zoology and social psychology. I really enjoy opportunities where I am working with people such as job a Student Ambassador and thrive in roles where I can make a positive change through socialising with others. I have interests in orcas and politics plus I love dogs and Disney!!

Hey there, I'm Ella!! I'm in my 2nd year of University, and I'm finally settled into Uni life now ;) I love learning about my Immunology degree, especially about viruses and cancers. On the weekends, you can find me hiking with my friends and sometimes we even go wild swimming if the weathers nice (not likely)⛰️. After my lectures, I can either go rock climbing in my Uni society, watch some football, catch up with the F1 I missed on the weekend or catch up with friends in the union playing some pool.
Emma
University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Science
Hi there! I am an MSc Student who recently graduated from Strathclyde with a BA in Business Analysis and Technology and Business Law. In my honours year, I had the opportunity to complete an investigation to determine the feasibility of mass adoption of AI. I was fascinated by this exciting domain and wanted to further explore the technological underpinnings. I have a strong interest in this area as the possibilities for applications are vast.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring both Scotland and abroad, but particularly this beautiful country. Some of my favourite memories from Strathclyde have been the sports ball, a mountaineering trip to Glencoe, and attending fight nights. I have had so many great experiences from my time as a student here from from being a sports union volunteer to becoming a class rep. So much to get involved in! I am happy to chat about anything regarding Glasgow, academia, and any other aspects of student life :)
