University College Birmingham

Nursing (Adult)

I am a mature student studying Adult Nursing. I am a single parent and work part-time. 
I love uni life, and UCB is fantastic. The lecturers are friendly,  approachable, helpful and have time for you which was a big tick as this is very important. Everyone around uni is lovely. It's fresh and vibrant, and from the first day of starting in January, I knew it was the uni for me!
It's never too late to learn; if you are thinking of studying to become a nurse, I cannot recommend it enough! If i can do it, so can you!!!!

Belén

University of the Arts London

Textile Design

Hey, I’m Belén!
I’m originally from Spain and completed my Foundation Diploma in Paris in 2022. Currently, I’m a Textile Design student at Chelsea College of Arts, taking a sandwich year to complete a Diploma in Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute before starting my third year. During my second year, I had the opportunity to go on exchange (back to Paris! 😊) and have also taken part in other exciting international opportunities through UAL. 

As an international student, I understand both the excitement and challenges of moving to a new country for university. From adapting to a new culture to navigating student life in London, I’ve learned a lot along the way. UAL has a welcoming and diverse community, and there are so many opportunities to connect with people from all over the world. If you’re feeling unsure about studying abroad or settling into London, I’d be happy to share my experiences and tips!

I have a strong interest in the intersection of textiles, technology, and human behavior. My work explores how computational design, weave, and interactive systems can shape our perception of materials and environments. I’m also passionate about sustainability, design innovation, and the role of craft in a digital world.

If you have any questions about studying at UAL, navigating a diploma year, being an international student at UAL or combining creative disciplines, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help! Any question is a good question!

Bella

University of Reading

MSc Theory and Practice in Clinical Psychology (with clinical or research placement)

A little about me: I'm 24, and still got lots to figure out but never stressed about it. I'm always happy to talk about life, fiction and everything in between--and meeting new people is a personal hobby of mine. My plans for getting more people to watch horror movies with me is steadily failing, but my future career-planning is going alright. So, you win some and you lose some, I guess. 

And a little for you: If you're ever feeling down, might I recommend singing, dancing or eating--it's really the simple joys in life that gets most people through. If you need to talk about life and uni, you're more than welcome to shoot me a message :)

Warmest Wishes,

University of Glasgow

Physics / Theoretical Physics [BSc/MSci]

I’m a first-generation university student, studying theoretical physics. At school, I became curious as to how we can understand the universe using concepts and equations; so studying physics felt like the thing I should do. 

I’m still not sure exactly what I want to do after university - there’s a wide range of research opportunities if I want to stay in physics, but lots of very different careers I could maybe see myself going into instead. 

Ben

University of Lincoln

Accountancy and Finance - BA (Hons)

Hi, I’m Ben!

I’m currently studying Accountancy at Lincoln University, and I’m in my third year, working towards a predicted 2:1 but pushing for a 1st. I’m passionate about finance, accounting, and business, and I’m keen to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Beyond my studies, I’ve taken part in various industry-focused opportunities, including:

Completing the Bloomberg Market Concepts course to develop financial markets knowledge.

Achieving Microsoft Office Specialist certification in Excel, enhancing my data analysis skills.

Winning 1st place in the CIMA Business Game Award, showcasing my problem-solving and strategic thinking.

Acting as a Student Ambassador and Course Representative, helping students navigate university life and academic challenges.

I also have work experience across multiple industries, from customer service and operations to handling emergency calls for the NHS. These roles have strengthened my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

In my first and second year, I lived in Lincoln, which gave me a great experience of student life, but for my final year I’m commuting. So, whether you’re moving away for university or thinking about commuting, I’m happy to share advice on both!

Outside of academics, I’m a huge football fan and love both playing and watching the game. I also enjoy gaming in my free time, whether it's competitive online matches or just relaxing with friends.

I’m always happy to chat about university life, balancing studies with work, career opportunities, or even football and gaming! Feel free to ask me anything.

University of East Anglia UEA

Literature and Creative Writing

3rd year English Literature student currently finishing my studies at UEA and set to begin  my MA in Archiving at UCL next year. Working towards a career in Archiving and Record Preservation. 
Particularly interests in Critical Theory and philosophy. Passionate about exploring the intersections between literature, politics, music, visual art and our collective histories. The written word is not dead or static but full of life which it gives to us, which is why I feel the study of Literature is so significant.
I also enjoy creative writing as a way of developing my passion for reading, and enjoying an appreciation for my favourite books which is interactive and participatory.
In my spare time I boulder at Rock Punk Climbing Cafe, located on Magdalen Street in Norwich, and Highball Climbing Centre, just a bus ride away from the City Centre. I love the element of problem solving involved in completing difficult routes and  advancing towards harder challenges with a renewed set of physical and mental skills.
I also find that Climbing is a sport that has helped me immensely around difficulties stemming from complete blindness in my left eye, such as strengthening depth perception and hand eye coordination. It is something I'd recommend very highly to anyone with impaired eye-sight (and everyone else too!)
I am also well acquainted with the DSA process by virtue of my blindness so please do message me if you're curious or facing any troubles with regard to disability allowance and support!
I have also skateboarded for a number of years and enjoy a street skate sesh or a trip to Eaton Park whenever I can :)

Southampton Solent University

BA (Hons) Architectural Design and Technology

Hi! I’m Benjamin, and I’m currently studying BA (Hons) Architectural Design and Technology at Southampton Solent University.
I’m passionate about design, urban planning, and how architecture shapes our daily lives. I decided to study architecture because I’ve always been fascinated by buildings, spaces, and the way environments can influence people’s experiences. The creative and technical aspects of the field draw me in, and I love the challenge of merging functionality with aesthetics. At Solent, I’m exploring everything from architectural theory to hands-on design projects. We get to work with both traditional and digital tools, and the program offers a great balance of studio work and technical learning. So far, I’ve worked on some exciting projects. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about my course area or Solent generally.
