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 :)

Film Studies
I am a second-year PhD student in Film Studies, with a research focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence and documentary filmmaking, particularly through the use of oral histories. My work explores how AI can be applied to enhance and transform traditional documentary storytelling, examining both its creative potential and ethical considerations. I’m especially interested in how AI can help preserve and interpret personal narratives, expanding the ways we capture and share human experiences. My goal is to push the boundaries of documentary film by integrating innovative technologies while respecting the rich history of the genre.

Sara
University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Engineering
Hello! I’m Sara, and I’ve been part of the University of Strathclyde for quite a while now. I joined for the first time in 2018, first for my Bachelor's, then for my Master's, and now as a PhD researcher in Architecture.
I’m originally from Italy, where I studied at an art school before moving to Scotland to study architecture: a path that has allowed me to combine my passion for art, design, and the way people experience spaces.
When I’m not reading papers and working on my research, I enjoy going to parks and botanical gardens (when it’s not too rainy!), going to the cinema or theatre with friends, or even just having a relaxing day in a café reading a good book.
Having lived in Glasgow for several years now, I’ve come to really appreciate what it has to offer, from its creative energy to its welcoming atmosphere for international students.
If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to share my experiences about studying and living here, as well as what it’s like to progress through undergraduate, master’s, and PhD studies in architecture.
