    Business Management BSc (Hons)
    I am a 2nd year Business undergraduate student at the University of Surrey. Alongside my studies, I also work as a part-time student ambassador which have been a great addition to my social life. As a widening participation student myself, I took part in the Summer School and AIM4University programmes at Surrey during my A-levels which aided in my decision about choosing the right course and university for me. Although I am still discovering and immersing myself in every opportunity that my course offers, if you have any further questions about the university, any degree courses at Surrey or just want to have a chat, feel free to message me on UniBuddy. If I do not have an answer to your question, I will be happy to ask students currently studying on your course to help me with providing you with as much information.

I would love to work with various charities in different countries around the world, but i also love the idea of working in a mixed practice with both farm and small animals. I have also become more interested in the idea of working in emergency practice or end of life care. I like staying active in various ways, I love climbing and football and have also learned to scuba dive with the society and university. I love walking by dogs and hanging out with friends on the weekend for a coffee or a few drinks at the pub! I'm happy to answer any questions you have :)
