Costanza
University of Plymouth
BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy (Full-time)
Hi everyone! 👋 My name is Costanza, I’m 29 years old, and I’m half Italian and half Iranian. I’m currently studying Occupational Therapy (BSc) full-time at the University of Plymouth. I absolutely love travelling, discovering new cultures, reading, hiking, watching films, cooking, and spending time with my friends and family.
I’m really pleased to be back in education here in England — it’s been such a rewarding experience! As a mature student, I truly believe it’s never too late to return to study and pursue a meaningful career. I see myself working as an Occupational Therapist, hopefully within mental health, although I’m open to wherever the future takes me.
I’m here to support you with any questions you might have — whether about the OT course specifically or about life at the University of Plymouth in general. Having studied in a second language myself, I completely understand the challenges that can come with that. Please don’t let any worries hold you back — there’s a wealth of support available here at UoP, and it truly is an amazing place to learn and grow! 🌟

Hi, I’m Laura, a MPsych Psychology with Clinical Psychology student with a love for understanding people, cultures, and the small moments that make life feel meaningful. I’m originally from London and currently studying in Plymouth. I’m especially passionate about mental health, clinical psychology, and helping students feel confident and grounded as they start their university journey.
I became a Unibuddy Ambassador because I remember how overwhelming everything felt when I first applied. I wanted to be that calm, friendly voice I wish I had back then. Whether you’re excited, nervous, curious, or all three, I’ve been there, and I’m always happy to help.

Sayara
University of Plymouth
BSc (Hons) Business Management
Probably the only business student who travels just to try new food and then ends up reviewing the restaurant’s branding in my head like it’s a group project. I’m Sayara K C, a final-year Business Management student with a serious love for marketing and a long-term plan to create my own beverage brand someday.
I grew up across different cultures, so I’m obsessed with languages, new places, and meeting people from literally everywhere. When I’m not studying, I’m usually playing badminton, chasing sunlight for photos, or pretending that “trying new food” counts as a hobby on its own.
If you’re curious about studying here, moving abroad, or navigating uni life, I’m here to give you honest, real insight. Reach out anytime.
Uthsara
