Ailsa
University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
Hi! I am a fourth year Psychology and Counselling student from London. The most significant aspect of my journey to Strathclyde was that a few years ago, I was enrolled at a different university, on an entirely different course than I am now. I can completely resonate with feelings of being unsure of your future, your direction, and not knowing where you can go to ask questions freely. In my latter years of school, I felt like there was no significant pull to any which subject or university, and so when starting university, I struggled to know whether I had made the right choice. When I started to feel as though Psychology was more what I wanted to study, I felt at first like I had no options, and had gone in the wrong direction for my future with no way to redirect myself. I then realised that this experience was valuable, as I learnt about myself, and what I wanted in a university, course, and campus. Strathclyde was my number one university from the moment I looked into it as for me, it ticked all my boxes. I reapplied to UCAS and here I am now!
As for my course, I started feeling as though Psychology and Counselling would suit me as in addition to my interest in multiple strands of psychology, including Neuropsychology and Behaviourism specifically, I believe mental health is an increasingly important topic of discussion. I feel very strongly that current education and resources provided, particularly to young people, require critical improvement that is long overdue. I chose a degree within which I can take my first steps towards entering a profession, such as a counsellor, where I can contribute to the fight for mental health support. For now though, I am enjoying being a student at the University of Strathclyde!

Business Management BA Honours
One of my biggest goals is to study abroad in Japan for a year. I’ve always been passionate about experiencing different cultures, and I believe immersing myself in a new environment will be an incredible learning experience. Not only will it give me a fresh perspective on the world, but it’s also a great way to grow personally and professionally. Employers value people who are ambitious, independent, and open to new experiences, and I see this opportunity as a way to develop those qualities even further. Plus, let’s be honest—exploring Japan, learning the language, and diving into the culture sounds like an amazing adventure! I’m excited for the challenges and growth that come with it, and I know it’ll be a life-changing experience that shapes my future in the best way possible.
Aleksander
Coventry University
Aviation Management BSc (Hons)
I'm a person who do what they love, badminton has become an incredible part of my life here at Coventry, allowing me to play and train up to 7 days a week. Similar with my course; I used to love the thought of becoming a commercial Pilot however after researching into it, the cost was extraordinary. Aviation Management fosters my passion for commercial aviation and maybe in the future I will be searching for a place in the managerial sector of aviation rather than a pilot.
