Hi there! I'm Alicia, a 3rd year International Relations and History student and an aspiring consultant and/or diplomat (still deciding!). I was born in London but moved to Uganda when i was 9, came back for university at 18. Choosing Brunel was an easy option for me as my sister was here too and she loved it! My experience here has been amazing, learnt a lot and made a lot of great connections. Feel free to ask me any questions that may cross your mind!
Charlene
University of Westminster
Politics and International Relations BA Honours
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!
