After spending 12 years as a military musician, I made the decision to change careers and study dietetics! I am about to start my 2nd year as a mature student. I'm originally from Southampton but work brought me to Plymouth before starting Uni, so I know the area well. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the course, uni life, being a mature student or the local area - I'm happy to help!

Medicine - BMBS
Hi I am a medicine student. Absolutely loving my course and life in the Lincoln. The city and the university provides great academic and student life experience. Since the day I made a decision to move to university. I have never reconsidered my choices. The warm and welcoming community makes it all worth it.

Computer Science
Hey there! I'm a second-year computer science student from Tanzania. When I'm not buried in code, you can find me on the football field, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or battling it out in online battle royale games—I'm a bit of a gaming enthusiast. I've also got a thing for cars, their mechanics and design fascinate me. What really excites me, though, is the idea of merging my interests with artificial intelligence. The thought of blending manual processes with AI tech gets me fired up. So, fellow future students, remember that your passions can lead you to exciting places, and I can't wait to explore this journey with you!

Midwifery is everything I’ve wanted to do and my favourite part of the course is placement, as it is so rewarding

Solent University
MA Visual Communication
Hello I'm Alicia-Marie! I am currently studying an MA in Visual Communications to broaden my employment opportunities, to develop a wider skillset, and familiarise myself with the facilities available. Prior to my Masters, I graduated with a BA in Photography in June 2022. My plan once I have graduated is to start my own small business alongside a 9-5 job in the print/digital media industry.
I am currently a student ambassador for the university, course representative for my studies, artist photographer and I work part-time in retail on my days off.
I have a rather busy social life and go to a social once a week with the Spirit of Solent society! They are an amazing society and everyone is extremely friendly. I spend the rest of my time playing pool or watching the footie with the boys.
please feel free to ask any questions about accommodation as I have visited most of them and lived in David Moxon for my first year. I have good knowledge of the city and things to do aswell.
Outside of university, I train at the gym four days a week alongside reading a lot of nutrition and healthy eating books so I can be healthier for longer. I also read a lot of general knowledge books outside of my studies on subjects such as finance and psychology as I believe they will aid me with people skills and general life skills.

Physical Education, Sports Development and Physical Activity and Health
Hey! I went to uni after completing my GCSEs and A-Levels and with the smallest clue of what I wanted to do for a career. Now, in my final year I can say it was the best decision for me, gifting me the chance to grow into an adult with adult responsibilities amongst others in the same situation and has aligned and inspired my interests for the future. Through my course I’ve become keen to pursue personal training and work in the fitness industry! Uni has so far been the most fun experience and by throwing myself into everything on offer like socials; sports; societies I would say I’ve had a quite well-rounded experience of university.
