Hi! I’m a first-year MSc Physiotherapy (pre-registration) student at the University of Essex, where I also completed my undergraduate degree in Sports Therapy. I began my journey here at just 17, moving to a completely new country and learning to live independently—it was definitely a challenge, but along the way I’ve picked up lots of tips and tricks that I’d love to share.
Over the past two years, I’ve been actively involved with the V Team and have lived on campus throughout my time here, so I’ve gained plenty of experience with student life, accommodation, and all things Essex.
If you have any questions about being an international student, campus living, accommodation options, volunteering opportunities, or most importantly the Sports Therapy and Physiotherapy courses, I’d be more than happy to help!
Robert
Lancaster University
Mathematics and Statistics
Hello! I'm Robert, a 4th-year Mathematics student at Lancaster University. I originally started in Accounting and Finance, but quickly realised my passion lay in maths, leading me to switch courses and dive deep into the subject I love. Studying at Lancaster has been a rewarding journey, where I’ve not only tackled abstract concepts but also gained the foundation to pursue diverse career paths, including my goal of a PhD in Artificial Intelligence.
As the Events and Safety Officer for the Math Society, I've organised both academic and social events, helping create a strong, supportive community. When I'm not immersed in equations, I enjoy cooking, travelling during breaks, and exploring Lancaster's beautiful canal walks and rural scenery. Whether you’ve got questions about life as a student, transitioning courses, or anything related to Lancaster, I’m here to help! Feel free to reach out—I'm looking forward to connecting!

Safa
University of Reading
MPharm Pharmacy with Preparatory Year
Hello! My name is Safa and I’m a commuter student studying Pharmacy with preparatory year, wanting to pursue hospital pharmacy in the future.
My academic journey has not always been easy, especially because of COVID, when studying became particularly challenging. However, the experience pushed me to work harder than ever and has shaped me to become the person I am today.
My love for biological and chemical sciences since childhood, coupled with my dream to work in the healthcare industry lead me to studying chemistry, biology and psychology for A-levels and eventually taking on a volunteering role at a pharmacy for a week, which significantly influenced my decision to pursue pharmacy.
I’m a people person, always excited about helping others and creating a positive impact! So I’m here to share my experience and support prospective students with any questions regarding university and how it’s like studying at Reading university :)
