  • Ayesha

    Solent University
    BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science
    Hello I'm Ayesha and I study Biomedical Science. I was born and raised in the UK but my parents are from different countries. My mum is from Portugal and my dad is from Pakistan - but I can only speak English. I am the eldest daughter in a family of 8 and I am the first person in my family to go to university. With my degree from this course I am hoping to have a job in a pharmacy or in a lab with the NHS.

  • Amanda

    University of Lincoln
    English and Journalism - BA (Hons)
    Hi, I am a second year student who have experienced taking a gap year after completing A-levels in sixth form. I then took a local college course as I wanted to go into a degree programme where my A-levels wouldn't apply (STEM A-levels wouldn't do for an English and Journalism degree ) and decided the college course would work out cheaper than a foundation course at uni. So that took 2 years. If you are a mature student and worried about adjusting, I can reassure you that the first year is all about making sure everyone is on the same page. I am also here if you have any issues with roommates as I had to relocate so understand how it can affect your well-being. I can also relate if you come from a bigger city and find it an adjustment to get used to being a student in a smaller space that lacks the usual diversity from big places. Otherwise, I like reading, running, and sewing but feel free to reach out for a chat about nothing and everything under the sun :)

I'm originally from Southampton but work brought me to Plymouth before starting Uni, so I know the area well. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the course, uni life, being a mature student or the local area - I'm happy to help!

  • angela

    Coventry University
    Nutrition and Health BSc (Hons)
    Hi, I’m Angel! Thanks for looking at this profile. I got into Nutrition and Health because I’m passionate about health in general but related to food and exercise specifically. I’ve seen so many people disregard health despite it being so important and I think a lot of diseases can be prevented if people are more aware of what they are consuming. Oh, I exercise too! I often go to the gym and I was into Muaythai a few years ago. Also, I love watching movies and reading books. I am currently watching Modern Family and reading The Molecule of More. Anyways, I hope you find what you are looking for here. Feel free to drop me a message anytime and I’ll do my very best to’ answer you soon. I’m very excited to be able to chat and know you guys!
