After finishing my A-levels at small sixth form in 2019 (and a few gap years!), I started my university journey. It took me a long time to decide what path I wanted to take, so I very much relate to the uncertainty you might be feeling at this stage!
I am from a very rural village in Cornwall, so naturally love the outdoors. So, for someone not used to urban living, Plymouth is a great in-between! It has so much to offer, including a balance between city and coastal life.
I am now in my third (and final!) year of my BEd Primary Education degree, specialising in geography. After graduating in 2025, I hope to pursue a career in teaching and share my passion for educating for sustainability.

University of Essex
Biomedical Science
Hi, my name is Phoebe! I am currently in the final year of my BSc Biomedical Science (NHS Placement Year) degree at the University of Essex. I haven't set my mind on specifically what I'd like to do after my degree, but I know I'd like a job working within the biomedical field. During my first year at uni, I chose to live on campus (Colchester Campus) in South Courts, but during the following years I commuted from home, so I am happy to answer questions about both. The campus accommodates for however you're feeling e.g. from spending some time relaxing at the lakes, quiet study spots and places to grab coffee to SU events, sports teams & societies and even a nightclub! If you have any questions about studying biomedical science, the clearing process, living in uni accommodation or student life in general, send me a message and I'll be happy to help! 😊

Lancaster University
Data, Computing and Communications
My favourite Python library is drawdata, my favourite things are my bike and a teacup...and my favourite places on campus are our awesome library and the games room at County bar.
I did not take Computer Science for A-level and my favourite subject was actually biology. So, I was choosing between a lot of options (like Marine biology, Mechanical engineering, Data science, Economics and, of course, Computer science). However, I have not regretted picking Computer Science since starting university as it turned out to be an interesting course suitable for any level of experience. I also do Accounting and Finance as my minor.

Hi, my name is Q and I am a Media Production Student.
I have always loved the visual arts and management, so have spent a vast amount of my time dancing, managing my film and photography and also volunteering at my local prestigious museum.
At Uni I have wanted to keep that up, so joined Dance Society and I also take part in Nerve Radio which is so much fun, but I am also gaining experience as I am considering working in radio in the future, and to produce my own films.
