  • Ailsa

    University of Strathclyde
    Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
    Hi! I am a fourth year Psychology and Counselling student from London. The most significant aspect of my journey to Strathclyde was that a few years ago, I was enrolled at a different university, on an entirely different course than I am now. I can completely resonate with feelings of being unsure of your future, your direction, and not knowing where you can go to ask questions freely. In my latter years of school, I felt like there was no significant pull to any which subject or university, and so when starting university, I struggled to know whether I had made the right choice. When I started to feel as though Psychology was more what I wanted to study, I felt at first like I had no options, and had gone in the wrong direction for my future with no way to redirect myself. I then realised that this experience was valuable, as I learnt about myself, and what I wanted in a university, course, and campus. Strathclyde was my number one university from the moment I looked into it as for me, it ticked all my boxes. I reapplied to UCAS and here I am now! As for my course, I started feeling as though Psychology and Counselling would suit me as in addition to my interest in multiple strands of psychology, including Neuropsychology and Behaviourism specifically, I believe mental health is an increasingly important topic of discussion. I feel very strongly that current education and resources provided, particularly to young people, require critical improvement that is long overdue. I chose a degree within which I can take my first steps towards entering a profession, such as a counsellor, where I can contribute to the fight for mental health support. For now though, I am enjoying being a student at the University of Strathclyde!

    University of Plymouth
    BA (Hons) Social Work (Full-time)
    I am aware starting your university journey may seem daunting and perhaps lonely. Myself, having had moved to Plymouth from London can understand some of the concerns or fears around university life but hopefully my experience can ease some of your anxiety :) I'm in my 1st year of social work and so far it's been an interesting learning experience! My placements have been very insightful and inspiring for my journey in social work, at this moment my interest is around working in children's services but im still enjoying exloring my placement with adults. My previous studies being A-Level Psychology, Sociology and BTEC Health & Social Care has definetely contributed to my interest in this career path as I am intrigued in both sociological and psychological aspects of individuals with my favorites being around biopsychology and adverse childhood experiences. The best thing about this degree is that it's extremely broad so there's an interest for everyone. for example, it covers subjects from the medical field, law, sociology, education and psychology which gives you unlimited opportunities to explore in the future and plenty of career choices!

  • Hui Xin

    University of Strathclyde
    Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
    Hi! I'm an international student from Singapore currently studying a joint honours degree course at Strathclyde. I chose to study here at quite the last minute because I changed my mind about what I wanted to pursue and Strathclyde allows me to do joint honours for a combination of subjects which is not offered by most universities. I have been really enjoying my classes so far and I am looking forward to my remaining years ahead at university! Feel free to ask me questions about being an international student, student life, or what it's like in Glasgow :D

    I am currently studying towards a PhD in History focusing on food culture as an expression of identity in diaspora communities in the UK. I hope to move in to teaching after that though I am also interested in getting involved in areas of social policy so am keen to see where my project takes me. Before returning to education I worked for over 10 years in the sales environment selling a range of products to both public and private sector clients.

    Hey there! I got my Bachelor's in Media Production with a minor in Political Science and I'm now pursuing an MA in Social Media and Digital Communication. I'm passionate about storytelling that makes a real impact. My goal is to become a creative director or filmmaker who brings meaningful narratives to life, exploring the power of visual media to connect people and challenge perspectives. When I'm not working on creative projects, you'll find me traveling, discovering new foods, or exploring the city. I'm all about experiences that inspire creativity and broaden horizons.
