Hi! I'm from Scotland and I moved to Glasgow 6 years ago to study a BA Psychology at Strathclyde as a mature student. Now I'm back at Strathclyde and doing the MSc Software Development.
Ask me about uni courses, student life at Strathclyde, and anything about Glasgow or Scotland :)

University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
Hi! I'm an international student from Singapore currently studying a joint honours degree course at Strathclyde. I chose to study here at quite the last minute because I changed my mind about what I wanted to pursue and Strathclyde allows me to do joint honours for a combination of subjects which is not offered by most universities. I have been really enjoying my classes so far and I am looking forward to my remaining years ahead at university! Feel free to ask me questions about being an international student, student life, or what it's like in Glasgow :D

Leilani
University of South Wales
BSc (Hons) Forensic Science
Hey there!
I'm Leilani, an international student studying forensic science, and I hope to one day open up a lab back in my home country! I enjoy baking, brownies specifically, listening to music, and meeting new people! I'm half Samoan, and that automatically makes me a sucker for all sorts of sports like football, rugby, and many more! Being an international student can seem scary, but with the helpful community at USW, I have managed to make a home away from home. I understand that moving away from home and making a big change for university is a little daunting, but with a little guidance and help, it'll be a breeze. I'd be happy to help give you this guidance!
