Hi! I’m Liv from Vietnam, currently studying Business with Marketing. I chose this course because it perfectly combines creativity with real-world business skills — and the university's supportive community and global outlook made it an easy choice for me.
When I’m not in lectures, you’ll probably find me planning my next solo trip, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or working on a DIY project like crocheting or embroidery. I’m also a big cat person and love meeting new people from different cultures — uni life has really helped me grow both personally and professionally.
I’m always happy to chat about anything from managing your timetable, finding the right accommodation, to travel tips (UK, Schengen, even Morocco!), and what to expect as a student here. Don’t hesitate to say hi — I’d love to help however I can!

Architecture
Studying at Central Saint Martins, UAL, has always been a dream of mine. Moving away from home and starting a new life in such a bustling city took some getting used to- but looking back now, as a final year, I wouldn't change a thing. After I graduate I plan on working in Brazil and Portugal before returning to the UK for my Masters (Part II RIBA).

Textile Design
Hey, I’m Belén!
I’m originally from Spain and completed my Foundation Diploma in Paris in 2022. Currently, I’m a Textile Design student at Chelsea College of Arts, taking a sandwich year to complete a Diploma in Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute before starting my third year. During my second year, I had the opportunity to go on exchange (back to Paris! 😊) and have also taken part in other exciting international opportunities through UAL.
As an international student, I understand both the excitement and challenges of moving to a new country for university. From adapting to a new culture to navigating student life in London, I’ve learned a lot along the way. UAL has a welcoming and diverse community, and there are so many opportunities to connect with people from all over the world. If you’re feeling unsure about studying abroad or settling into London, I’d be happy to share my experiences and tips!
I have a strong interest in the intersection of textiles, technology, and human behavior. My work explores how computational design, weave, and interactive systems can shape our perception of materials and environments. I’m also passionate about sustainability, design innovation, and the role of craft in a digital world.
If you have any questions about studying at UAL, navigating a diploma year, being an international student at UAL or combining creative disciplines, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help! Any question is a good question!

Ben
University of Lincoln
Accountancy and Finance - BA (Hons)
Hi, I’m Ben!
I’m currently studying Accountancy at Lincoln University, and I’m in my second year, working towards a predicted 2:1. I’m passionate about finance, accounting, and business, and I’m keen to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Beyond my studies, I’ve taken part in various industry-focused opportunities, including:
Completing the Bloomberg Market Concepts course to develop financial markets knowledge.
Achieving Microsoft Office Specialist certification in Excel, enhancing my data analysis skills.
Winning 1st place in the CIMA Business Game Award, showcasing my problem-solving and strategic thinking.
Acting as a Student Ambassador and Course Representative, helping students navigate university life and academic challenges.
I also have work experience across multiple industries, from customer service and operations to handling emergency calls for the NHS. These roles have strengthened my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
In my first and second year, I lived in Lincoln, which gave me a great experience of student life, but this year I’m commuting. So, whether you’re moving away for uni or thinking about commuting, I’m happy to share advice on both!
Outside of academics, I’m a huge football fan and love both playing and watching the game. I also enjoy gaming in my free time, whether it's competitive online matches or just relaxing with friends.
I’m always happy to chat about university life, balancing studies with work, career opportunities, or even football and gaming! Feel free to ask me anything.

Literature and Creative Writing
3rd year English Literature student currently finishing my studies at UEA and set to begin my MA in Archiving at UCL next year. Working towards a career in Archiving and Record Preservation.
Particularly interests in Critical Theory and philosophy. Passionate about exploring the intersections between literature, politics, music, visual art and our collective histories. The written word is not dead or static but full of life which it gives to us, which is why I feel the study of Literature is so significant.
I also enjoy creative writing as a way of developing my passion for reading, and enjoying an appreciation for my favourite books which is interactive and participatory.
In my spare time I boulder at Rock Punk Climbing Cafe, located on Magdalen Street in Norwich, and Highball Climbing Centre, just a bus ride away from the City Centre. I love the element of problem solving involved in completing difficult routes and advancing towards harder challenges with a renewed set of physical and mental skills.
I also find that Climbing is a sport that has helped me immensely around difficulties stemming from complete blindness in my left eye, such as strengthening depth perception and hand eye coordination. It is something I'd recommend very highly to anyone with impaired eye-sight (and everyone else too!)
I am also well acquainted with the DSA process by virtue of my blindness so please do message me if you're curious or facing any troubles with regard to disability allowance and support!
I have also skateboarded for a number of years and enjoy a street skate sesh or a trip to Eaton Park whenever I can :)

Southampton Solent University
BA (Hons) Architectural Design and Technology
Hi! I’m Benjamin, and I’m currently studying BA (Hons) Architectural Design and Technology at Southampton Solent University.
I’m passionate about design, urban planning, and how architecture shapes our daily lives. I decided to study architecture because I’ve always been fascinated by buildings, spaces, and the way environments can influence people’s experiences. The creative and technical aspects of the field draw me in, and I love the challenge of merging functionality with aesthetics. At Solent, I’m exploring everything from architectural theory to hands-on design projects. We get to work with both traditional and digital tools, and the program offers a great balance of studio work and technical learning. So far, I’ve worked on some exciting projects. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about my course area or Solent generally.
