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.

Paramedic Science
Hi, I’m Anisha and I am a 3rd year paramedic science student at the University of East Anglia. I lived on campus in 1st year and have moved out for 2nd year to live with my friends. Outside of my studies, I love heading into the city to browse the food markets or watch the latest Marvel film. After graduation, I hope to work with the London ambulance service or be accepted onto the civil service fast stream.

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 :)

Business and Management
I'm a second-year BA International Business student at NTU. I'm loving my time at NTU so far and I'm so happy that I decided to do International Business as I was torn between a couple of other majors while applying to uni. I know how hard it can be to make a decision about your future, so please, don't think your question isn't worth asking.

English & Creative Writing
Hey, I'm Becka! 🌷 I recently graduated from Keele with a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing and am now an MA Creative Writing student here. I love all things art, from writing to drawing to fashion and self-expression. I also spend a lot of time playing video games, eating food and taking pictures of my cat (my phone storage is nearly full).
I've taken electives in philosophy, psychology, media studies and sociology, and live off-campus. In the future I hope to live in a remote forest treehouse (with a good wi-fi signal). Feel free to ask me any questions about uni! 🦋
