Sara
University of Strathclyde
Faculty of Engineering
Hello! I’m Sara, and I’ve been part of the University of Strathclyde for quite a while now. I joined for the first time in 2018, first for my Bachelor's, then for my Master's, and now as a PhD researcher in Architecture.
I’m originally from Italy, where I studied at an art school before moving to Scotland to study architecture: a path that has allowed me to combine my passion for art, design, and the way people experience spaces.
When I’m not reading papers and working on my research, I enjoy going to parks and botanical gardens (when it’s not too rainy!), going to the cinema or theatre with friends, or even just having a relaxing day in a café reading a good book.
Having lived in Glasgow for several years now, I’ve come to really appreciate what it has to offer, from its creative energy to its welcoming atmosphere for international students.
If you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to share my experiences about studying and living here, as well as what it’s like to progress through undergraduate, master’s, and PhD studies in architecture.

Shaun
University of Strathclyde
MSc Neuroscience & Mental Health
My course of Psychology and Philosophy was my first formal study from the core functions, systems and structure of the brain to different viewpoints and perspectives in philosophy to understand the moral and ethical values of life. I consider learning, education and knowledge are key aspects in my life, it doesn’t necessarily lead down a path of academia, but I use everything I learn to inch me that wee bit forward to my goal. I’ve previously got experience in simple catering jobs, retail but I consider myself, first and foremost as swimmer teacher. If I’m strive to become an academic researcher at Strathclyde University.
