Natasha

University of Essex

Speech and Language Therapy

Hi! I’m Natasha, a second-year BSc Speech & Language Therapy student.

My journey to SLT wasn't a straight line. I previously worked professionally as a singer and performing arts teacher, but my path changed when my father suffered a stroke while living abroad. Seeing the gaps in his rehabilitation and his struggle to access speech therapy sparked a deep desire in me to help others find their voice. I decided to take the leap as a mature student to turn my fascination with the voice into a career that makes a real-life impact.

Life on Course
My favourite parts of the degree so far have been the clinical placements. There is nothing quite like being out in the field to cement your learning and put all that theory into perspective! I’ve also particularly enjoyed the dysphagia workshops, which are fascinating.

Beyond the Lecture Theatre
When I’m not studying, I’m usually found on stage. I’m currently in rehearsals for 9 to 5, playing the gossiping office manager, Roz! I am also very active in university life as a Student Rep, Student Ambassador, and Vice President of the SLT Society.

As a disabled student on campus, I am also happy to chat about navigating university life, accessing support, or what the inclusive environment is like here.

My Top Tip
If I could give you one piece of advice: Make the most of your lecturers! They are experts in their fields, and the conversations you have with them outside of formal lessons are absolutely invaluable.

Whether you're curious about being a mature student, performing arts, or the specifics of the SLT course, please feel free to reach out. I’m here to help!

Neuroscience and Psychology

Hi! I'm Zoe, a first-year Neuroscience and Psychology student at KCL. My academic journey began right here with the King’s International Foundation (Bio & Chem), giving me a solid transition into my current degree. 
I’m deeply passionate about cognitive neuroscience, with a specific focus on the fascinating link between sleep and memory. I planning to pursue further studies in the UK or Hong Kong to deepen after graduation. 
Having attended classes across ALL KCL campuses, I’ve got the "inside scoop" on university life and would love to share my experiences with you!

Hannah

University of Glasgow

Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry [BSc/MSci]

After doing my A levels in Chemistry, Maths, and Psychology, I wasn't sure what to do next. I chose to come to Glasgow because of the flexibility they offered with their degree plans; I initially enrolled in a Psychology degree, but have since changed my degree to Chemistry! Next year, I will be on a placement year in Industry, and I hope to work in research in the future! I love studying in Glasgow, and am happy to answer any questions you may have :)
