Hi! My name is Justyna and I’m a graduate medical student from London. I completed my first degree in Biomedical Science, which led to my growing interest in cancer therapies and infectious diseases. I would also like to explore the potential career in anaesthetics. Outside of medical school, I like to lift weights at the gym or practice karate. I am learning Korean and Japanese and I love cooking/ baking various foods from these countries. I enjoy exploring new things and travelling the world so I am planning to do some of my working experience abroad.

Medicine MBChB
Hi! I'm Lithmi and I’m currently a final year medical student. If you’re a school leaver and starting Medicine right after graduating school it can be quite challenging, so feel free to bombard me with any questions about the big shift! I’ve also travelled over 8000km to be in Aberdeen so if you’re wanting to know about the experience of settling into a new city far away from home, about the course, or even just living in Aberdeen, I’m here to answer any questions you have!
Looking forward to helping you out!

I am a 4th year Graduate Entry Medicine Student and I also did my Bsc in Medical Pharmacology at Swansea. I love dance, aerial sports and cheerleading, it has been a great experience so far. There are a lot of different areas of Swansea that can be explored. I was born in America but have done GCSE and A-levels in the United Kingdom. I have various jobs connected to the university such as Student Ambassador. The Medical Pharmacology course was a great and engaging experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi, I'm Sara and I've really enjoyed my time at the university so far, its been lovely to meet so many different people and enjoy student life! I know it can seem a little daunting at first but there are lots of events and societies organised to meet new people and have fun! Personally I like to bake, read and I'd love to travel and explore new cultures. After I've completed my degree, I have an interest in pediatrics , however, I'm still very uncertain at this stage- (let's hope I survive my exams first..)

Medicine BMBS
Hi there! I’m Sarah, a third year medical student at Brighton and Sussex medical School. I am a mature student having worked for the UK Government for the past ten year, and a graduate, completing my first degree in Medical Neuroscience here at the University of Sussex. It really feels like I have come full circle now that I am back here studying medicine!
I hope to become a GP once I finish my degree, but we get so much exposure to different specialities I am also excited to explore. I enjoy yoga and cold water swimming which is great as I live by the sea for the first time!
Sreshta
University of Chester
Graduate Entry Medicine
Hi there! I’m currently studying Graduate Entry Medicine with a long-term goal of specialising in Paediatrics or Obstetrics and Gynaecology (so far that is my plan). My journey into medicine began with an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences, which helped fuel my passion for healthcare and solidified my decision to pursue a career in medicine.
I spent the first 14 years of my life in the UK before moving to Dubai, where I completed the last four years of my high school education. Being an partial international student myself, I understand how challenging it can be to adapt to new environments and navigate life away from home, but I also appreciate the unique experiences that come with it.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I have a strong passion for music—I play four instruments and enjoy badminton in my free time and play for the university team. I’m always keen to meet new people, share experiences, and support others who might be going through similar journeys.

Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry [BSc/MSci]
After doing my A levels in Chemistry, Maths, and Psychology, I wasn't sure what to do next. I chose to come to Glasgow because of the flexibility they offered with their degree plans; I initially enrolled in a Psychology degree, but have since changed my degree to Chemistry! Next year, I will be on a placement year in Industry, and I hope to work in research in the future! I love studying in Glasgow, and am happy to answer any questions you may have :)
