Morgan
University of Suffolk
BSc (Hons) Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation Science
I’m very passionate about the natural world and prefer to be outside rather than in. I’ve lived in the Northeast of England my entire life so moving across the country was a big life change, but it’s been entirely worth it! Following this course my ideal career would be one in ornithology or working with populations of endangered wild birds, which I’m very enthusiastic about and love to observe and photograph them whenever I can.

Marine Biology
Hi, I'm Adrianna. I'm from North West England.
I decided I wanted to do marine biology, when someone did an online talk at my college all about the marine environment and biology.
My main hobbies include sewing; gaming; watching films and series; and spending time with friends and family.
Some of my favorite games are Animal Crossing; Slime Rancher; and Stardew Valley.
Some of my favorite movies/series are: How to Train Your Dragon; Vampire Diaries; Grey's Anatomy; and Disney movies.
Albert
University of Plymouth
BSc (Hons) Marine Biology
I am really passionate about marine research and conservation. I hope to continue in academia after my degree to pursue a Master's or a PhD and to one day work in research! I also really enjoy combining my studies with my love for scientific diving and anything ocean-related, you're always very likely to find me underwater somewhere.
Alice
University of Essex
Marine Biology
Hello! 👋 I'm Alice, a student at the University of Essex currently pursuing an integrated masters in Tropical Marine Biology. I'm thrilled to be a part of the Unibuddy community as a Student Ambassador, where I can share my unique journey and experiences with you.
Beyond the academic realm, I have a deep passion for invertebrates in the sea, including jellyfish and other odd looking creatures! Extra-curricular activities are where I find balance between academia and fun. Squash, running and scuba diving are sports that I truly enjoy. The thrill of a competitive squash match or the serenity of a long run along the coastline are experiences I cherish.
Future Career Plan:
As I progress through my academic journey, my ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to the field of marine biology. I aspire to earn a Ph.D., conducting ground-breaking research that sheds light on the complexities of gelatinous animals and their role in marine ecosystems. My vision extends beyond the laboratory; I aim to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding, advocating for the conservation of our oceans.
Join me on this exciting adventure through academia and exploration of the deep sea on Unibuddy! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about marine biology, integrated masters programs, or if you just want to chat about our shared interests.
Let's make the most of our academic journey together! 🌊🔬🏃♂️

Kallie

Marine Biology
I currently study marine biology, and plan to pursue a career in conservation. I would love to work with a rescue and rehabilitation center as a rescue coordinator and care specialist, or as a diver for conservation and restoration projects around the world.
Alongside my coursework, I’m a member of the women’s rugby union. I absolutely love my team, and all the experiences I have through them (like Wednesday night socials)! Sport and society opportunities at Bangor are phenomenal, and I’d love to tell you all about them! We also have a multitude of volunteering opportunities, with truly something for everyone. Bangor can feel quite small, but between uni-sponsored opportunities, third-party events, and living on the doorstep of Eryri, there’s no reason you can’t have a vibrant time here.
Megan

Conservation
I’m a Bangor University student studying Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, despite not taking any science A-levels—proof that anything is possible if you follow your passion! My volunteer work at a local Owl sanctuary has sparked a deep interest in birds of prey, especially owls, and I hope to pursue a career in this field. I also manage social media for Greener Gwynedd (a university volunteer group) and volunteer with local wildlife groups, gaining hands-on conservation experience. Outside of uni, I love hiking and exploring the nature around North Wales, listening to music (especially Noah Kahan), reading, and playing video games.

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.
