羞羞视频

What attracted you to your course at 羞羞视频?  

I have always been genuinely fascinated by the human body and the natural sciences, that curiosity only grew stronger in high school, especially while studying Biology HL and Chemistry HL. I therefore knew early on that I wanted a career that combined science with real-world impact. When I came across the Biomedical Science course at 羞羞视频, it immediately stood out to me. It felt like the perfect launchpad for the kind of future I envisioned. The fact that the course is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science gave me confidence in its quality, and the range of modules鈥攍ike Immunology, Toxicology, Pharmacology, and Genetics鈥攚as incredibly exciting. Each one has sparked new interests and helped me start shaping a clear direction for my future. 

Before coming to 羞羞视频, what were your expectations? And now that you are here, have your experiences differed?  

Before coming to 羞羞视频, I was a bit nervous about moving to Aberdeen from Germany. I didn鈥檛 know what to expect especially when it came to settling into a new country. But from day one, I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and welcoming everyone was. People here are so open and easy to talk to, which made it much easier to adjust and feel at home. 

I鈥檝e also really enjoyed getting involved in student life. I joined the rowing society, which has been such a fun and rewarding experience. Not only have I learned how to row but it鈥檚 also been a great way to meet people and form new friendships outside of my course. 

Academically, I was not sure what to expect, but the teaching at 羞羞视频 has been incredibly supportive and engaging. The lecturers are approachable, and I appreciate the strong focus on practical learning. Now that I have been here for some time, I feel more confident, independent, and genuinely happy. 羞羞视频 has exceeded my expectations, both in and out of the classroom. 

What's the best thing about being an 羞羞视频 student?  

Honestly, I think the best part of being an 羞羞视频 student is how well-rounded the experience is. You鈥檙e supported academically, but there鈥檚 also so much going on outside of class鈥攆rom societies and events to meeting people from all over the world. It鈥檚 a truly welcoming environment, and you never feel like you鈥檙e just a number. 

I鈥檝e found the teaching staff approachable and down-to-earth, and there are loads of chances to get involved and try new things. As an international student, that meant a lot to me as it helped me settle in and feel at home quite quickly. Overall, 羞羞视频 gives you space to grow, not just as a student, but as a person too. 

Describe your favourite memory of 羞羞视频 or your Placement so far?  

One of my favourite memories, is sitting in the cafeteria area in the Sir Ian Wood Building by the massive glass windows in the autumn season, watching the storm outside and listening to the rain falling on the roof with a cup of hot chocolate from Costa. 

Tell us about your most challenging or rewarding project, assignment or module. What did you like or dislike about it and how has it helped you?

One of the most challenging parts of university for me has been adjusting to the shift in workload and expectations compared to high school. That jump becomes even more noticeable the further you progress through the course. I especially felt this at the start of Stage 3鈥攊t was tough balancing my university work with home life, and by the end of semester one, I was feeling really burnt out. 

What helped me was taking a step back and being kinder to myself. This semester, I scaled back on extracurriculars so I could focus more on my coursework and give myself space to rest and catch up. It was not easy, but it taught me the importance of setting boundaries, managing my time better, and listening to my own limits. In the long run, it has made me more resilient and helped me find a healthier balance between my academic and personal life. 

What is your favourite way to spend your time when you are not studying?  

I love trying new extracurriculars when I am not studying. Currently, I am learning how to ski, play golf and also joined the recreational rowing squad (University Rowing Aberdeen). Additionally, I love driving and exploring Aberdeenshire and the Highlands during my spare weekends. 

What would you say to someone considering studying at 羞羞视频? Any advice you would share?  

I think 羞羞视频 is a wonderful place to start your university journey, especially if it is your first time living away from home. Everyone on campus is quite welcoming and open, allowing you to adjust quickly to university life. There are so many activities going on, especially during the first semester, so it's easy to meet people and get involved. 

My biggest piece of advice would be to join as many societies as you can鈥攅ven if you have never tried the sport or activity before, or if you are feeling a bit out of practice. Societies are a fantastic way to learn something new, have fun, and make friends along the way. They really helped me feel connected, and I would encourage anyone to dive in and take full advantage of everything 羞羞视频 has to offer. 

What do you enjoy most about living in Aberdeen?  

Aberdeen is the perfect size for a city. It is big enough to offer plenty to do, but small enough that it never feels overwhelming鈥攁nd everything is within easy reach. One of my favourite experiences during my first year here was attending the very first Aberdeen Comedy Festival, where I got to see a wide range of comedians from across the UK. 

The city also hosts great events throughout the year like Whisky Week, Restaurant Week, Shopping Week and the Highland Games. These bring a real buzz to the city centre and give you the chance to try new foods, discover local businesses, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. 

Another thing I really appreciate is how well-connected Aberdeen is. The city has its own international airport with direct flights to major European cities, as well as a central train station and good bus links to the rest of Scotland. It makes travelling鈥攚hether it is a quick trip home or a weekend exploring the coast鈥攅asy and accessible. Altogether, living in Aberdeen offers a great balance of city life, cultural events, and travel opportunities.
