Hannah
University of Essex
Engineering
Hi! I’m Hannah, a first-year student studying Neural Engineering with Psychology. My degree isn’t one that’s very well known but I love it. It combines Psychology, Engineering and Computer Science. In my next couple of years, I will cover areas like working with prosthetics, AI and brain computer-interfaces. If that sounds like your sort of thing, then definitely go check it out and feel free to ask me any questions about my experience so far. I mostly work in the CSEE department so I can answer questions about other courses as well. As this is my first year, I remember very well how stressful looking for the right university and course can be. I’d like to make your experience easier in anyway I can. Remember, university might seem a bit scary but its also such a great opportunity to be independent and there will always be people happy to support you. Outside of university I like to play video games and I’m trying to get back into the gym. Ask me any questions you have, big or small, and I will try my best to answer them.

Carolina
University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Engineering
Hello there!
I'm Carolina, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself with you.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the Polytechnic of Turin in Italy, and I also pursued a Master’s in Advanced Architectural Design at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde. These academic experiences, along with my current PhD studies, have fueled my interest and knowledge in Academic Skills.
For me, being an architect means more than just working with blueprints on a screen. It's about delving into all the stages of a project, considering the surroundings, their history, and the people who will live there. I never tire of investigating problems and searching for the best solutions.
My educational journey, combined with my extracurricular experiences, has ignited a special passion for languages, particularly English, Spanish, and German. Learning these languages has broadened my horizons, allowing me to better understand and appreciate diverse cultures and traditions.
Thanks to my academic pursuits and my background in extracurricular activities, I've honed my ability to connect with people and communicate ideas clearly. On a more personal note, I adore cooking, traveling, photography, watching sports, and staying active by participating in various sports.
