BSc Real Estate

Hi!! I’m Katie, a Year 2 student from Hong Kong currently studying for my undergraduate degree in Real Estate at the University of Reading. Before starting my degree, I completed my international foundation year here at Reading in 2023-24. I’m happy to share my experience with anyone considering that path!

During my free time, I love playing tennis, travelling, and taking photos. 🎾✈️📸 I’m also a big fan of J-pop and K-pop, and I enjoy watching K-dramas and J-dramas. 🎶📺

Abbie

University of Reading

BA Classical Studies

I'm a Classical Studies student in my second year at the University of Reading. At A-level, I studied History and Performing Arts. I'm the first sibling to go to university, so I know what it's like to feel a bit lost and confused about the future. In my free time, I like to read about Greek Mythology.

Abi

University of Reading

BSc Business and Management (Marketing)

Hi, I'm Abi!
I am a part of the University of Reading; however, I am originally from a small town in South Wales. I have always had a keen interest in Business Marketing; even when I was young, I used social media to create a platform to share and promote my journey in horse riding. As I have grown older, I now work for the University's engagement and content creation team and wish to pursue this further once I graduate. University has allowed me to explore my interests, make new friends and be more independent and confident in myself, which I had struggled with in the past. There is so much support from the university and the community, which I believe has helped me grow.
