  • Bella

    University of Reading
    MSc Theory and Practice in Clinical Psychology (with clinical or research placement)
    A little about me: I'm 24, and still got lots to figure out but never stressed about it. I'm always happy to talk about life, fiction and everything in between--and meeting new people is a personal hobby of mine. My plans for getting more people to watch horror movies with me is steadily failing, but my future career-planning is going alright. So, you win some and you lose some, I guess. And a little for you: If you're ever feeling down, might I recommend singing, dancing or eating--it's really the simple joys in life that gets most people through. If you need to talk about life and uni, you're more than welcome to shoot me a message :) Warmest Wishes, Bella x

  • Bethany

    University of Reading
    BSc Food Marketing and Business Economics with a Placement Year DL61
    Hi, I'm Bethany. Before starting the BSc Food Marketing and Business Economics course at Reading, I completed A-Levels in Maths, Business and Psychology. I am planning on using my degree to pursue a career in Product Development, which will involve creating new products for food companies. I was lucky enough to undertake my placement year as a Product Developer for Mr Kipling! Food has always been my passion and I love to cook and bake new recipes in my spare time. I also enjoy walking with my friends, going to concerts and travelling to new places. Please feel free to message me with any questions you have about the University of Reading, my course, placement years and student life! :)

  • Hibah

    University of Reading
    BSc Psychology with Professional Placement
    I am a fourth year Psychology student hoping to attain a role as a clinical psychologist, working with young people and supporting them with their mental health difficulties. I recently completed a placement year with CAMHS NHS which I really enjoyed and am always ready to talk about my Placement! Aside from Psychology, I have a huge passion for fashion and interior design and wish to pursue that alongside my career. I come from Slough and I am also a first generation university student. I have both commuted and lived out so I have had a range of experiences at the uni!

  • Juliet

    University of Northampton
    Msc Project Management (Placement Route)
    As a project management master's student, I plan to access the free career support platforms provided by the university to enable me to make good grades, increase my employability skills and enhance my career opportunities in the UK. I am passionate about social impact. Becoming a UON Changemaker Level 3 professional, Student Union Committee member and a Unibuddy Ambassador has allowed me to interact with different people from different cultures, understand cultures, corporate social responsibility, sustainability and gain career opportunities. It feels good to experience a welcoming community that promotes inclusion and diversity and appreciates projects that achieve the UN Goals.

  • Neha

    University of Reading
    BSc Psychology with Professional Placement
    Hey there! I’m Neha – a British-Indian Psychology student currently on my placement year, working towards my goal of becoming a psychologist and supporting people with mental health challenges. If you have questions about placements, I’ve got you! I’m currently doing one myself and would love to share insights. I also remember how stressful A-levels, UCAS, and even Clearing can feel – I’ve been through it all, so you're definitely not alone. I'm always happy to chat and share my experiences to help make things feel a little less overwhelming. Outside of studies, I’m involved in a few cultural societies on campus, and I can tell you all about the vibrant, diverse community here – from fun events to the best food spots around! I love coffee catch-ups, music, and traveling when I get the chance. Whether it’s about the course, campus life, or anything in between, feel free to drop me a message – I’m here to help! 😊

  • Owain

    University of Reading
    BSc Mathematics and Economics with a Placement Year
    A passion I have developed this summer is for travelling Europe. I never realised how much countries and fun things there are to do! It`s a great way to meet new people and try different cuisines and experience new cultures! So after finishing my degree I hope to travel a bit more, and then go into the career of accountancy.

  • Petya

    City St George's, University of London
    Business Management (with Professional Placement) BSc (Hons)
    My name is Petya and I am from Sofia, Bulgaria. This is my third year in London studying Business Management. I am passionate about expanding my knowledge in marketing, economics, and entrepreneurship. Last academic year I pursued an Industrial Placement in London with one of the leading professional services firms. Throughout my journey at Bayes Business School, I have gained business acumen and met with wonderful people from all around the world. Because of City's available resources for students, I managed to network with professionals and learn a lot regarding future careers. In addition, I have engaged with my university in many ways. I have been Student Representative for my course and also Resident Life-Coordinator for one of City's accommodations in which I lived. I have also been part of the Student Engagement Advisor team where I worked to enhance Bayes' Welcome Week for new students. I am more than happy to share my knowledge and experience with prospective students.
