Hi I’m Emily!
I’m in my second year studying Earth and Environmental Science, with the hopes of becoming a volcanologist in the future. I’d swapped from studying Geography last year, so am able to answer questions on either degree. I’ve loved living on campus and in town, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about the uni or Lancaster in general :)
I’m also on the study abroad scheme so can answer any enquiries about this.

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.

Marine Biology
Hi, I'm Adrianna. I'm from North West England.
I decided I wanted to do marine biology, when someone did an online talk at my college all about the marine environment and biology.
My main hobbies include sewing; gaming; watching films and series; and spending time with friends and family.
Some of my favorite games are Animal Crossing; Slime Rancher; and Stardew Valley.
Some of my favorite movies/series are: How to Train Your Dragon; Vampire Diaries; Grey's Anatomy; and Disney movies.
Albert
University of Plymouth
BSc (Hons) Marine Biology
I am really passionate about marine research and conservation. I hope to continue in academia after my degree to pursue a Master's or a PhD and to one day work in research! I also really enjoy combining my studies with my love for scientific diving and anything ocean-related, you're always very likely to find me underwater somewhere.
Alice
University of Essex
Marine Biology
Hello! 👋 I'm Alice, a student at the University of Essex currently pursuing an integrated masters in Tropical Marine Biology. I'm thrilled to be a part of the Unibuddy community as a Student Ambassador, where I can share my unique journey and experiences with you.
Beyond the academic realm, I have a deep passion for invertebrates in the sea, including jellyfish and other odd looking creatures! Extra-curricular activities are where I find balance between academia and fun. Squash, running and scuba diving are sports that I truly enjoy. The thrill of a competitive squash match or the serenity of a long run along the coastline are experiences I cherish.
Future Career Plan:
As I progress through my academic journey, my ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to the field of marine biology. I aspire to earn a Ph.D., conducting ground-breaking research that sheds light on the complexities of gelatinous animals and their role in marine ecosystems. My vision extends beyond the laboratory; I aim to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding, advocating for the conservation of our oceans.
Join me on this exciting adventure through academia and exploration of the deep sea on Unibuddy! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about marine biology, integrated masters programs, or if you just want to chat about our shared interests.
Let's make the most of our academic journey together! 🌊🔬🏃♂️
