Hi! I'm Nathan, a 1st year Politics student here at UEA. I applied through the clearing process and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have, with my best knowledge being on the Politics course, societies, social life, and the LGBTQ+ experience at university.

Phoebe
University of Essex
Biomedical Science
Hi, my name is Phoebe! I am currently in the final year of my BSc Biomedical Science (NHS Placement Year) degree at the University of Essex. I haven't set my mind on specifically what I'd like to do after my degree, but I know I'd like a job working within the biomedical field. During my first year at uni, I chose to live on campus (Colchester Campus) in South Courts, but during the following years I commuted from home, so I am happy to answer questions about both. The campus accommodates for however you're feeling e.g. from spending some time relaxing at the lakes, quiet study spots and places to grab coffee to SU events, sports teams & societies and even a nightclub! If you have any questions about studying biomedical science, the clearing process, living in uni accommodation or student life in general, send me a message and I'll be happy to help! 😊

Sports Therapy
Hi ! I’m a 3rd-year undergraduate student studying Sports Therapy at the University of Essex. I started my journey here at just 17 years old, moving not only to an entirely new country but adjusting to living alone was a challenge, but along the way, I’ve picked up some tips and tricks that I’d love to share with you because I know how hard it can be.
For the past two years, I’ve been part of the V Team, and this year, I’m the Session Leader for the Refugee Teaching Program. I’ve also lived on campus all three years, so I’ve had plenty of experience with campus life, accommodations, and all things Essex.
If you have any questions about being an international student, life on campus, accommodation, or volunteering opportunities, feel free to reach out!

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.

Hey there!
I’m Temwani – great to meet you!
I’m a second-year international student at the University of Essex (Colchester Campus), originally from the vibrant country of Zambia. My educational journey has taken me across Southern Africa, with my O Levels in Zimbabwe and A Levels in South Africa, giving me a rich and diverse perspective both inside and outside the classroom.
Beyond my academics, I’m passionate about sports, fitness, wellness, entrepreneurship, and community engagement—I believe in living a balanced life and giving back to those around me. I currently live off-campus, which has given me the chance to explore the local community and meet people from all walks of life.
My academic interests lie in economics, finance, and business advisory, where I aspire to build a fulfilling career that makes a real impact. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.
