Hi, I’m Alexia! I’m a second year student in my undergraduate degree (including a placement year), working as a student ambassador for BU.
I have Portuguese parents but I was born in the UK, so I am more fluent in English but I can hold a good conversation in Portuguese :].
In the future, I want to become a counselling psychologist/therapist and also pursue music in some form (although that bit isn’t planned out yet lol). I have 2 Mainecoon cats and practice a variety of sports and musical instruments, including kickboxing and piano. It’ll be tough to balance everything this year but I’m determined to stay healthy and happy throughout my degree and make the most out of the social aspect of uni!
Caitlin
Buckinghamshire New University
Counselling Psychology
I am about to graduate this year, where I will then begin my masters right here at BNU. My goal is to become a therapist in my own private practice. My dream has always been to dance for the Royal Ballet. I am a very sporty person, I used to represent England in Karate where I won the title of World Champion and European Champion on many occasions. Since coming to uni I decided to branch out of my comfort zone and try cheerleading, I am now Chair of the Cheer team and I am a level 2 flyer. I have recently been re-elected as committee for BNU Swans Cheer where I will take on the role of Captain and Treasurer! I have danced since I was 2 and my favourite styles are ballet and jazz.
Christopher
University of Aberdeen
Counselling, Psychology and Education MSci
Originally from the west of Scotland, I entered the university as a direct 2nd year entry but also as a mature student. I have always had an interest in helping others and with this course I am aiming to develop my counselling abilities but additionally, through placement, gain real world experience. Long term, I have ambitions to complete this course and follow onto the PHD of Counselling Psychology elsewhere in Scotland, however, I am leaving this open to change and allowing this course to further expand my interests.

I'm from Aberdeenshire originally, and chose to study at the University of Aberdeen to be close to my family, and because of the good reputation the University has. I'm passionate about Aberdeen as the local city that I grew up visiting regularly, and now having moved there, to make sure that students see the best of the city while they're here!
