    Pharmacy - MPharm
    Hi I’m Ellie and I’m a Second Year Pharmacy student. I will be at Lincoln for 3 more years and plan on becoming a pharmacist when I graduate. I did A Level Biology, Chemistry, Maths and EPQ and I am very familiar with the clearing process due to my A levels not going as expected so feel free to ask questions around this subject too! Clearing felt very daunting at first when things didn’t go as planned on results day, but the process was actually really easy and ended up finding the university that’s best for me. Everything was so quick and it really helped me to settle into university lifestyle. So yeah, any questions you have about this I’m happy to answer :)

    Accountancy and Finance - BA (Hons)
    Hi, I’m Ben! I’m currently studying Accountancy at Lincoln University, and I’m in my second year, working towards a predicted 2:1. I’m passionate about finance, accounting, and business, and I’m keen to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios. Beyond my studies, I’ve taken part in various industry-focused opportunities, including: Completing the Bloomberg Market Concepts course to develop financial markets knowledge. Achieving Microsoft Office Specialist certification in Excel, enhancing my data analysis skills. Winning 1st place in the CIMA Business Game Award, showcasing my problem-solving and strategic thinking. Acting as a Student Ambassador and Course Representative, helping students navigate university life and academic challenges. I also have work experience across multiple industries, from customer service and operations to handling emergency calls for the NHS. These roles have strengthened my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. In my first and second year, I lived in Lincoln, which gave me a great experience of student life, but this year I’m commuting. So, whether you’re moving away for uni or thinking about commuting, I’m happy to share advice on both! Outside of academics, I’m a huge football fan and love both playing and watching the game. I also enjoy gaming in my free time, whether it's competitive online matches or just relaxing with friends. I’m always happy to chat about university life, balancing studies with work, career opportunities, or even football and gaming! Feel free to ask me anything.

    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!

    Developmental Psychology - MSc
    Hi, I am Ellie, a masters student studying Developmental Psychology. I have a passion for education and aspire to be an educational consultant. When I was studying for my A Levels I was adamant that I didn't want to leave home, however, moving to uni has been the best decision I have ever made! Life at university has helped me explore new passions and enabled me to continue with old hobbies such as dance! As an education and psychology student, I can explore new ideas in psychology and put them into practice in education, allowing for an advanced style of thinking. Since being at uni I have immersed myself in my studies and life as a student and since becoming a course rep, student ambassador and online tutor as well as being in the dance society. If you have any questions regarding the course or life at University please feel free to drop me a message and I will offer my friendly support and knowledge. One of the best ways to get an understanding of University is through the students who experience it firsthand! Ellie x
