Hello! My name is Hiba, and I'm a Biomedical Science student currently on my placement year, bridging the gap between textbooks and real-world lab work. I'm a huge fan of chasing adventures (my travel bucket list is endless!), but I equally love the true joy of a lazy day with a new series to binge. I also work as a Student Ambassador for the university, talking to prospective students about my course and what it's like to study here. So, whether you're curious about the academics, placement opportunities, or just want to chat about balancing studies with travel plans and lazy days, feel free to message me! I'm more than happy to help

Hi there.
I am Kanniz and I was raised abroad in Malaysia until I was 15.
I studied BSc Bioscience in London before deciding to come to Reading to pursue my passion in Cancer Biology. I want to be an aspiring cancer research scientist after graduating. I enjoy badminton and long walks both of which I am able to do outside of my studies. I will be happy to help answer questions about experiences of transitioning from abroad to life in Reading as well student life :)

FAREHA
Leeds Beckett University
Biomedical Science | MSc
Hi! My name is Fareha khalid, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Biomedical Science at Leeds Beckett University. My academic journey began with a Bachelor’s in Biotechnology, during which I developed a deep passion for research in molecular biology and drug discovery. One of my most exciting achievements was publishing research on drug repurposing for tuberculosis treatment, which strengthened my drive to contribute to global healthcare advancements.
Beyond academics, I’m a Global Ambassador and Postgraduate Representative, actively engaging with diverse student communities and supporting others in their academic and personal journeys. I’m also a former trainee in various pathology labs, where I gained hands-on experience in hematology, microbiology, and histopathology.
Looking ahead, I aspire to pursue a PhD focusing on biomedical innovation, particularly in tackling age-related diseases and zoonotic infections. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between research and clinical applications to improve healthcare outcomes globally.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about studying in the UK, lab-based careers, or even navigating university life
I’d love to help!
