Computer Science
As a Computer Science student with a focus on Game Design, I've spent my university years immersed in technology, project leadership, and creative community building. My experience spans from crafting digital narratives in advanced game development to leading social media for the Craft Society, where I turn ideas into shared experiences. As a physics mentor and past International and Course Representative, I've developed strong communication and organizational skills that I bring into any professional space.
My future career plans center on blending web development with impactful, user-centric solutions in Japan, a challenge I’m ready to take on despite not speaking Japanese—yet! I'm passionate about creating platforms that facilitate learning and creativity, which is driving my final-year project to develop a coding learning website. Whether it's coding, mentoring, or collaborative design, I strive to transform complex ideas into meaningful, accessible interactions for all.

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!
