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 :)

Sam
Coventry University
History BA (Hons)
I am a current undergraduate second-year history student at Coventry University who is keen to harness the opportunities offered by my course to develop the transferable skills I require to perform to the best of my ability in the world of work. As a member of the Coventry University History Society, I value the opportunity to build connections, socialise with people inside and outside my course, and build up my knowledge and experience in my subject. I regularly search for new interests to broaden my experiences in outdoor and sports activities, including hiking, running, cycling and swimming, which are particularly enjoyable for me. Upon completing my course, I plan to apply for jobs in areas of interest or a graduate scheme. I am interested in a career in civil service, particularly in foreign relations, so my history course provides the perfect opportunity to build on my critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which would be essential for this career path.

Sara
University of Glasgow
Common Law [LLB]
Hi, I’m Sara! I’m currently in the first year of my Common Law degree and am having a blast! I applied for the course because I’ve always had an interest in society, namely the way it functions and what’s influenced it - which is something you’ll be learning a lot about throughout your studies. When not bombarded with a boatload of course work ( jk😊), I enjoy spending time with the new friends I’ve made on campus and attending the various events hosted by my societies. I also have an aptitude for becoming completely obsessed with a new film series every month - right now it’s the Hunger Games (Peeta Mellark supremacy✊). In the future, I hope to specialise in corporate and commercial law and (hopefully) secure a training contract down south. Adjusting to university life has been tough, but I’ve accumulated a ton of tips and tricks to make the transition easier! Shoot me a message and I’ll answer your questions – course related or not!

I know it can seem a little daunting at first but there are lots of events and societies organised to meet new people and have fun! Personally I like to bake, read and I'd love to travel and explore new cultures. After I've completed my degree, I have an interest in pediatrics , however, I'm still very uncertain at this stage- (let's hope I survive my exams first..)
