I’m originally from Chennai, India but have grown up in Dubai! This is my first time living away from home but I love the independence and opportunities presented to me in London. I would love to work in the UN one day after completing my Masters in the US!

I'm Ady, and currently I am in my second year, pursuing a bachelors in Global Politics and International Relations. Before uni, I worked as a pilot for 14 years, and due to the covid-19 pandemic had to broaden my outlook on the future. Im avidly interested in international diplomacy and how regions and counties make a vital difference in imacting global policy and direction. Politics never seemed easy to understand, and now I realize why! Like everyone here I hope I can make a difference in the future to make our world a better place.

Hello! My name is Charlene, a second year Politics & International Relations student. I am originally from Ghana, but I have lived in London for about 5 years now, having done my GCSEs and A Levels here in the UK. I love to read, I love to write and have chill days cuddled up on my bed with a blanket watching Netflix. I love to get involved at uni so I work for the University as a student ambassador and also for the Students Union as a school and course rep. Please note that although I am Ghanaian, I am unfamiliar with the ucas application process from outside the UK since I did my secondary qualifications here in the UK. That being said, happy to chat to you all!

Michelle
University of Westminster
Politics and International Relations BA Honours
As a first-generation immigrant, born in Italy to Bangladeshi parents and raised in the UK, my perspective on international relations was shaped from a young age by diverse background. This unique background, situated at the crossroads of different identities, ignited a deep-seated passion for politics and international relations. I was driven not only by a curiosity about global affairs but also by a clear recognition of the underrepresentation of people who look like me in these fields. This realisation solidified my ambition to pursue a career where I can contribute a much-needed voice.
My professional aspirations are firmly set on a career within the UK Civil Service, specifically targeting the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). I am an ambitious student, actively seeking to expand my practical experiences within the diplomatic sphere to build a strong foundation for this path. My interests extend beyond the theoretical; I have a genuine passion for connecting with people through the exploration of new cultures, which I actively pursue through a love of travel and culinary discovery. I am eager to leverage my unique background, drive, and cultural curiosity to contribute meaningfully to the field of diplomacy.

I am a university student deeply engaged in political science and international relations, with a particular focus on democracy, equality, and human rights. I enjoy studying complex political theories and making them easier to understand in my own words, while maintaining strong academic integrity and referencing standards.
Living with diabetes has given me a personal insight into the importance of health and wellbeing, which motivates me to help others through my work experience in pharmacies and health-related roles. I take pride in providing practical support and advice to people managing their health.
