I am currently a second year marine biology and zoology student at Bangor university. I am here to offer any advice (coming from someone who wasn't originally sure the university life was for her) from finance, friends or general stress and worries! Looking forward to chatting :)

Biology
My main passions are biology and the environment, which is why I'm studying at Bangor University!
I make the most of the outdoors surrounding Bangor so feel free to ask me about travel and places to visit.
I like to give things a go so know about many of the clubs, societies and volunteering projects.
Future career plans are to become a researcher, so I will be continuing at Bangor for my MSc and pHd!
I look forward to hearing from you.

Law
Hi! As an international student, I intend on returning to my home country, Seychelles, to pursue a career in the legal field, after I have finished my current course. The law has always been intriguing to me and I have a similar interest in Psychology because it is such a fascinating subject, so I studied it in A-levels and I have loved it ever since. That is why I decided to study Psychology as well as Law at university level, despite only intending to enter the law profession, and I could not be happier about my decision.

Medicine
Hi, I'm a first-year medical student at Bangor University, and although I didn't initially plan to come here, I am so grateful to receive an offer through clearing, as it not only enabled me to study medicine, it also allowed me to study in a picturesque setting - surrounded by the mountains of Snowdonia and the many surrounding beaches of Anglesey and Llandudno - which ensure that there is always something exciting to do outdoors. I'm also really into running, and there is nothing quite like going for a jog surrounded by the beautiful coastal and mountain views that make this place so special. Outside of my degree, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, and I'm currently the BMA representative for the North Wales Medical School.

Conservation
I’m a Bangor University student studying Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, despite not taking any science A-levels—proof that anything is possible if you follow your passion! My volunteer work at a local Owl sanctuary has sparked a deep interest in birds of prey, especially owls, and I hope to pursue a career in this field. I also manage social media for Greener Gwynedd (a university volunteer group) and volunteer with local wildlife groups, gaining hands-on conservation experience. Outside of uni, I love hiking and exploring the nature around North Wales, listening to music (especially Noah Kahan), reading, and playing video games.
