University of Glasgow
Sociology [MA/MA(SocSci)]
I am currently studying Sociology with my original aspiration of becoming a teacher. However, in studying at Glasgow I have been given the opportunity to study Politics/International Relations and History. By studying these extra subjects I have realised I have many career options with a job in Politics becoming more appealing. I would be interested in working with the public and have an interest in social issues. Out with university I enjoy going new places, meeting new people and can't wait to travel again soon. Glasgow is full of friendly faces so university has been great to easily connect with like minded people sharing my interests.

Alexia
Goldsmiths University
BSc (Hons) Psychology
Hi, I'm Alexia. I have lived in Romania for 11 years before coming to London. The transition from Romania to the UK was challenging as I had to adapt to a new language and way of life. However, it's been an incredible journey so far. I am currently in my third year studying psychology at Goldsmiths. I have decided to pursue this degree because I was curious about the human mind and behaviour and here at Goldsmiths I can explore this further. After completing my undergraduate studies, I want to take a gap year to travel, as well as gain experience in the field that I am interested in. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have and share my experience so far at Goldsmiths.

Marine Biology
Hello! 👋 I'm Alice, a student at the University of Essex currently pursuing an integrated masters in Tropical Marine Biology. I'm thrilled to be a part of the Unibuddy community as a Student Ambassador, where I can share my unique journey and experiences with you.
Beyond the academic realm, I have a deep passion for invertebrates in the sea, including jellyfish and other odd looking creatures! Extra-curricular activities are where I find balance between academia and fun. Squash, running and scuba diving are sports that I truly enjoy. The thrill of a competitive squash match or the serenity of a long run along the coastline are experiences I cherish.
Future Career Plan:
As I progress through my academic journey, my ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to the field of marine biology. I aspire to earn a Ph.D., conducting ground-breaking research that sheds light on the complexities of gelatinous animals and their role in marine ecosystems. My vision extends beyond the laboratory; I aim to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding, advocating for the conservation of our oceans.
Join me on this exciting adventure through academia and exploration of the deep sea on Unibuddy! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about marine biology, integrated masters programs, or if you just want to chat about our shared interests.
Let's make the most of our academic journey together! 🌊🔬🏃♂️
