  • Julia

    Brunel University London
    Psychology
    Hello everyone :) My name is Julia and I came to Brunel University from Poland. After mandatory studies I took 3-year break from academic education, while I was traveling and working abroad (among others as a windsurfing instructor). Currently I'm living on campus with a plan to live off campus next year. In the future I'd like to pursue my career in the field of Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology or Neuropsychology. I've always been interested in people's behaviour and how the human brain works, so these fields are a perfect combination for me.

    Brunel University London
    Environmental Sciences
    Hi everyone! I am Ovidiu Alexa, a Romanian-Italian EU student of BSc Environmental Sciences at Brunel University London. I am currently in the third year of my course and I will be graduating in 2024. I decided to kickstart my academic career in environmental science because the environment nowadays is a key topic, and is linked to many of the challenges mankind is currently facing, such as climate change. Brunel University is a heterogeneous place that allows me to grow professionally, but also socially. I am part of different societies and I am involved in various academic activities, including research. During my first year, I lived on campus, but at the beginning of the second year I moved into a shared house. If you have any questions about the university itself, or your academic/social life, please feel free to get in contact, I will be happy to help.
