Aimée Olivia

Lancaster University

Zoology

Hi, my name is Aimée and I come from Switzerland. I am a third year Zoology student with an interest genetics, and using it to conserve the species of our planet. I chose to study at Lancaster after falling in love with the campus on an open day. I am currently on my placement year working in the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's WildGenes genetics laboratory. At university one of my favourite things to do is discover new coffee shops around Lancaster with my friends. Besides this I can usually be found in Waterstones buying yet another book or at home playing my latest Nintendo Switch obsession! 

Dimithra

Bangor University

Zoology

Hi, I’m Dimithra Dayaratne, an undergraduate student studying Zoology with Conservation. I grew up in the little island of Sri Lanka. My goal in life is to become a chief sustainability officer of a company, as I am passionate in environmental management. I’d like to do my part in contributing to the conservation of our planet from a corporate perspective. I know the struggles some of you guys might face. Leaving your friends and family probably for the first time, trying to fit in with your peers, or things like setting up your new bank account. International students in particular might struggle with some aspects like the culture shock or having no relatives in the country. I strive to ensure that everyone has a smooth and easy transition to their new chapter in life.

Natasha

Bangor University

Zoology

At the moment I’m really enjoying looking at animal behaviour and ecology but am really looking forward to my upcoming trip to Canada with my course as I can get to do hands on research in Algonquin park. Other than my studies my favourite things to do are exploring Bangor with my friends and finding the best pubs for quizzes, karaoke and the cheapest drinks.

I studied music for two years in Leeds before coming to Bangor to do a foundation degree so that I could get on the zoology course here. I hope to travel the world and gain experience and skills in conservation, ecology, photography and many other sectors.

Star

Bangor University

Zoology

As I'm currently studying Zoology with Herpetology, I'm really into reptiles and amphibians (that's the herpetology). My hopes are to go and do animal conservation and research in amazing places like South Africa, Australia, and the US. I'm especially interested in toxicology of reptile venom, and amphibian disease.

Hi! I'm Cerys :) I am an undergraduate Zoology student from South Wales who LOVES her course! I am currently on study exchange in Australia, so if you're looking for information about travel opportunities, want to know more about the course and its opportunities, or even have questions about nightlife, accommodation or societies, I'm more than happy to help! Impassioned by the impacts of climate change, I am hoping to work with endangered and at risk species through conservation work in the future. I have voluntary and travel experience, so I could be super helpful if your hope is to go abroad or find opportunities to get more involved in your course!

Kiannah-Jade

University of Lincoln

Zoology - BSc (Hons)

I am a third year Zoology BSc (hons) student at the University of Lincoln. I love all animals, my favourites being orcas! 

I am extremely passionate about diving, ocean conservation and travelling. I also love dance, horse riding, and kayaking as well as literally anything that involves water!

I applied to the University of Lincoln through clearing in 2022 and would be more than happy to chat through any questions that you might have :) 

Uma

University of Sussex

Zoology BSc (Hons)

I wasn't always sure which direction I wanted to take. My background was in biomedical science with the NHS. Leaving this behind to travel in my 20s changed this trajectory and inspired me to study Zoology. Meeting incredible scientists and visiting conservation projects sparked a passion for the natural world and its protection. 

This experience led me to pursue a degree in zoology as a mature student. I have learned about the delicate balance in ecosystems and the pressing need for conservation efforts. I am hoping to build a career in this field. I am passionate about making a difference for our planet and inspiring others to connect with and protect the natural world.
