Deimante
University of Essex
Biomedical Science
I completed my BSc Biomedical Science here in Essex, and now I am studying an MSD in Cell and Molecular Biology, specifically Virology. My career plans are to find a job in industry and maybe pursue a PhD later in life. I am originally Lithuanian but have lived in the UK since I was 17, so I am a 'home' student but can happily answer any questions from international students (hopefully some Lithuanians 😉). If you are interested in a research degree please feel free to reach out as I can give a lot of insight! Outside of university, I love crafts, going to the gym to stay active, trying out new food and keeping in touch with my friends, as research life can get very busy 😄

Hoping to become an accountant and try and get the Chartered status. I have lived in Aberdeen for 7 years. I first came here to study engineering, however, due to health issues I had to drop out.

Hey guys! My name is Renaldas, I'm 23 years old and I'm a postgraduate student of Psychology at the University of Essex. I've graduated with a 1st class degree in BA Business Management and Modern Languages from the University of Essex and, throughout the course of my studies here, I had a chance to go abroad and experience life in Italy. Ask me anything about life, studies and opportunities here at Essex ;)
Lithmi
University of Aberdeen
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!
Anastasiia
University of Essex
Art History
I am a 28 y.o. PhD student with a background in Museum Studies (St Petersburg State University of Culture) and Curatorial Research (St Petersburg State University). My PhD is sponsored by Essex's Human Rights Centre. I'm here to help you start your academic journey with the UoE.
Ask me anything about PGR studies at Essex (especially PHAIS), financial support for international students, accommodation, life on and off campus (especially cultural events, e.g. museums, theatres, etc.) and what it's like to live in the UK/Colchester (e.g. what's there for people from my (and probably yours!) part of the globe, such as where we celebrate Orthodox Easter!).
Fun facts about me: travelled to 30+ countries; have a cute little chinchilla named Pyshka 🍩; learnt that all stereotypes about British weather are true yet still enjoy it here.

Hi! My name is Emma and I'm a second year English and History student. I love reading and exploring old ruins and museums, and this degree has only helped to increase my love of these things. I am President of the Korfball Society, and being a part of this society has really helped me to settle into the uni lifestyle and make friends, which was something I was nervous about when starting.

Hello! My name is Filsan and I am a 3rd year student at City studying History and Politics!

Georgia
University of Warwick
Undergraduate Classics and Ancient History
I'm Georgia, a 19 year old Classics student from a small town near Reading! After studying both Latin and Greek in school, I have taken a step back from Ancient languages for my first year at uni to explore different sides to classics. Now due to both my language experience from school and what I have learnt at uni, I feel I can give you an accurate view on what Classics at Warwick is like, and answer any further questions you might have! Additionally, coming from a small town with nothing but a single costa coffee shop, moving to the University of Warwick was a big change in how I began to live my life! I had previous experience in staying away from home and my family before university, therefore i'm always happy to chat about the experiences of moving away from home! One of my biggest fears about coming to uni was that I would not be able to make any friends, as I had previously had struggles with making friends at school, but I immediately hit it off with several of my flatmates, who had similar interests as me thanks to Warwick's accommodation quiz! From there I was able to meet even more friends through my course, and through societies like Mixed Hockey! In short, I have never been happier than I am now at Warwick, and I have really been able to express the real me at university! Feel free to ask me questions about any area of life here at Warwick and I will do my best to help and advise you!
Hannah
University of Reading
BA Ancient History

Shipwrecks are another passion of mine, especially the ones from ancient Greece.
