    Cybersecurity & Forensics BEng
    Hi! I’m a first year Cybersecurity & Forensics student and a student ambassador. I’ve been interested in tech and security for a long time, and studying this course has really confirmed that I want to build a career in cyber in the future, although I’m still exploring all the different paths the field offers. As a new student myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel choosing the right course, settling in, or figuring out what to expect on the first week. If you have any questions about the course, university life, or what it’s like starting out in cyber, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to help!

    Journalism BA
    I'm Elise, one of this year's student ambassadors! I'm a first year journalism student living in university accommodation in Edinburgh, and I've loved getting to explore the city over the last few months. In my free time, you'll mostly find me at makers markets or trying out a new coffee shop, unless there's a new exhibition at the city art centre. 🩷

    Interior & Spatial Design BDes
    Hello! I’m a direct entry student who came through college first, where I completed my HND in Interior Design and Architecture. This gave me a strong practical foundation and helped shape my interest in design and how spaces are experienced. Then I went straight into second year and started my degree in Interior and spatial design. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and I love visiting art galleries, as they’re a big interest of mine and a great source of inspiration for my work. After I finish university, I hope to move into a professional interior design practice where I can continue developing my skills, gain hands-on experience, and grow as a designer
