Fleur
University of Essex
European Studies
Hello there, nice to meet you! My name is Fleur and I am studying European Studies at Essex. I love my course because it allows me to study a lot of different topics, such as history, politics, sustainability, philosophy, and even recently a bit of economics! While I'm not completely certain what I would like to do after leaving University, I know that I would like to contribute to making the world a better place, whether that be through working in social policy, a non-profit organisation, or an area contributing to reducing the climate crisis. Outside of university I am very interested in arts and crafts, and I love to curl up on a rainy day and crochet while listening to music, which is another hobby of mine. I love all things to do with music, playing musical instruments and listening to all different genres! I'm not incredibly sporty but I do enjoy going on walks in my beautiful hometown, along with swimming in pools and rivers (although the fish do scare me a bit). Archery is another interest of mine, and I've really enjoyed getting involved at the University Club!

As a second-year Film and Television Studies student at UEA, I am passionate about visual storytelling and its cultural impact.

I’m eager to connect with like-minded individuals and explore opportunities that align with my passion for storytelling and filmmaking.

Law
Growing up in the Solomon Islands, I've always felt a deep connection to the ocean. This passion led me to pursue an LLM in International Trade and Maritime Law here at the University of Essex. My goal is to ensure sustainable maritime practices and address legal challenges like cybersecurity threats and autonomous vessels. I aim to start as a regulatory compliance specialist and eventually become a policy advisor, shaping trade policies that protect our marine environment. The University of Essex's supportive environment and expert faculty make it the perfect place to achieve these goals and make a meaningful impact on our oceans.

In my gap year, I found my passion for the environment and interest in sustainability in every day life. I hope to go into a career after my studies where I can make a difference and help facilitate positive change to help protect the environment from further harm, whilst also lobbying for positive climate action with the hope of one day seeing a completely sustainable and zero-harm society.

One of my passions is to create films that speak hope into people’s lives and with this, it then leads to one of my career plans being to one day own a film production company. I have a background in television production which is in sync with my current passion.

Hannah
University of Essex
Engineering
Hi! I’m Hannah, a first-year student studying Neural Engineering with Psychology. My degree isn’t one that’s very well known but I love it. It combines Psychology, Engineering and Computer Science. In my next couple of years, I will cover areas like working with prosthetics, AI and brain computer-interfaces. If that sounds like your sort of thing, then definitely go check it out and feel free to ask me any questions about my experience so far. I mostly work in the CSEE department so I can answer questions about other courses as well. As this is my first year, I remember very well how stressful looking for the right university and course can be. I’d like to make your experience easier in anyway I can. Remember, university might seem a bit scary but its also such a great opportunity to be independent and there will always be people happy to support you. Outside of university I like to play video games and I’m trying to get back into the gym. Ask me any questions you have, big or small, and I will try my best to answer them.

Jaiden
University of Essex
Economics
I came to Uni here after a long time debating it, i wasnt sure if it was for me, but since making up my mind and actually comming, despite all of the fears and worries about debt and social life and relationships and my course, its been some of the best weeks of my life. I've never felt as sociable as i do naturally now, and with all the new awesome people ive met in lessons / am living with, they've made me come out of my shell a lot. Living away from home was pretty wierd to start off with, but honestly the university is such an accomodating and welcoming place that this just feels like a second home to me now, just as much as back home is still my "home", i feel i've settled in here really well, and im sure you'll do the same, so try not to let your doubts control you too much, because its an experience you dont want to miss!
