I've been studying at Lancaster since 2019 as an undergraduate and now as a postgraduate student. Before coming to Lancaster, I took 2 years out and went travelling, got a part time job and took the time to get ready for university. I understand how much of a big deal moving to uni can feel, especially if you're coming a long way!
I'm hoping to apply for a PhD programme at Lancaster and become a lecturer and researcher in Marketing and Consumer Behaviour.

Natural Sciences
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!! I like playing badminton, playing board games, sewing and getting involved in the university community through societies and opportunities. Currently, I would like a career where I can improve the education system to make it fairer and more enjoyable/practical for students.

Marketing
Hii, I’m a final year marketing student with interest in Strategic Consulting as a career. My journey at LU began as a study-abroad student, but the amazing community and the inclusive environment made such a big impact on me that I decided to transfer here fully. Being part of this welcoming community has helped me grow in so many ways, and I hope every student feels as empowered here as I do.

My names Patrick or Paddy, I'm currently studying a masters degree in Chemical Engineering. I aim to have a carer either in the oil or food industry as those two areas interest me the most within the scope of Chemical Engineering.

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.

Hello! I'm Robert, a 4th-year Mathematics student at Lancaster University.
