Hi I’m Becky! I am a second year Interior Design Decoration mature student. Before university, I studied as an apprentice for two years and then worked in a variety of different places but I eventually decided to go to university. Outside of uni, I love the countryside and I am a big animal lover! In the future I am aiming to work in a interiors company designing kitchens and bathrooms!

MA Visual Communication
Hello I'm Alicia-Marie! I am currently studying an MA in Visual Communications to broaden my employment opportunities, to develop a wider skillset, and familiarise myself with the facilities available. Prior to my Masters, I graduated with a BA in Photography in June 2022. My plan once I have graduated is to start my own small business alongside a 9-5 job in the print/digital media industry.
I am currently a student ambassador for the university, course representative for my studies, artist photographer and I work part-time in retail on my days off.
I have a rather busy social life and go to a social once a week with the Spirit of Solent society! They are an amazing society and everyone is extremely friendly. I spend the rest of my time playing pool or watching the footie with the boys.
please feel free to ask any questions about accommodation as I have visited most of them and lived in David Moxon for my first year. I have good knowledge of the city and things to do aswell.
Outside of university, I train at the gym four days a week alongside reading a lot of nutrition and healthy eating books so I can be healthier for longer. I also read a lot of general knowledge books outside of my studies on subjects such as finance and psychology as I believe they will aid me with people skills and general life skills.

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.

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.

Biology - BSc (Hons)
Hi! I’m Amelia, and I’m studying biology at UOL! I am the course rep for my year and also a student ambassador, and my interests in biology are towards the structural aspects. I enjoy learning about human biology and how the human systems work, and the similarities between us and animals. I hope to study more about the history of biology, such as fossils and bones in the future, as well as ‘ancientbiotics’ - how humans treated diseases without the knowledge we have now. In my free time I like to help out and volunteer with projects relating to my interests in biology and also tabletop games!

Literature and Creative Writing
I'm from Hyderabad, which is a metropolitan city in the south of India. Hyderabad has an incredibly rich and diverse literary history, and growing up there meant that I was inevitably drawn into art and literature. Writing has always been my passion- I can't remember a time when I didn't make up stories in my head! I love literature that's accessible yet elegant, simple stories done beautifully with care. I've spent the last three years at UEA on the English Literature with Creative Writing course, and fallen in love with both Norwich and UEA. There's a real camaraderie to be found among students and staff here, and despite being thousands of miles from India I've begun to feel at home here in Norwich. UEA is full of brilliant, passionate people who support each other and aim to effect real change in the world- being here has not only exposed me to different cultures and experiences, but also helped to improve my craft and expand my perspective of the world. UEA's an amazing place for students and writers to be, and I look forward to speaking to you about both Norwich and the University!

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 :)

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!
