Currently, I am in my second year studying Geography BA with Quantitative Methods at the University of Leeds.
International Business student at the University of Leeds
I currently work as a Student Ambassador, a maths tutor, and I have my own little crochet business on the side!
My research project 'Imposter syndrome and Sense of belonging' delves into student perceptions of the condition, and the flaws surrounding the measures used to diagnose it.
I am an undergraduate student studying Sociology and International Relations at the University of Leeds.
My work experience is rather varied, having jumped from being an immigration solicitor's assistant, to utilities brokering, to retail, and then marketing. I like to believe I've picked up a few talents from each role!
I'm art-obsessed; whether it is a gallery exhibition for photographs or paintings, to music and films. I also love a good book (they are a piece of art too)!
Hello! I am part of the 2022 cohort of Laidlaw scholars. I am a first year undergraduate currently on the Mechanical Engineering (MEng) course at the University of Leeds. My project title is Development and Characterization of Biomimetric micropatterned surfaces.
I am a 2022 Laidlaw Scholar from the University of Leeds. My research is all about commerical and insolvency law, testing the assumption that "the insolvency of the principal terminates the agency relationship whilst the insolvency of the agent terminates the relationship only if it makes him unfit to perform his duties". Basically, how does an agent (e.g. the UK seller of Australian wine) running out of or being low on money effect contractual relationships.
Technical bits aside, in my spare time I love to be active - particularly endurance sports.
I am also an avid follower of UK and US politics, with an emphasis on constitutional affairs and defence/foreign policy.
Hi! I'm Izzy from North Wales (or a 'gog' - someone from the North - as we would say in Welsh). I am part of the 2022 scholars cohort and my research project is about Imposter Syndrome and sense of belonging. I study Psychology at the University of Leeds which I am thoroughly enjoying as I love people (and science/ evidence!). I chose this degree as I believe that understanding people's thoughts, motivations and behaviours is what is going to lead us to a more equal and just society. Working as a teaching assistant alongside children with special educational needs last year confirmed my intuition that I would like to go into social justice work after graduating. In my spare time I love to cycle, dance and swim outside.
I am so honoured and excited to have been selected as a 2022 Laidlaw Scholar. After taking an alternative route to university I am enthusiastic to take advantage of the skills and experience I can gain from any and all opportunities and truly appreciate the power of education.
My purpose and drive are fuelled by my ambition to have the freedom of choice that education provides. I hope an available choice in my future career will be to lead innovative and socially beneficial projects.
I look forward to connecting with you all as an amazing group of scholars.
Hi! I'm Maria and I am a current undergraduate scholar from the University of Leeds. I study Law and I aspire to be a corporate solicitor.
Studies Theoretical Physics at the University of Leeds, currently on a year in industry at Raspberry Pi as part of the Hardware Engineering team. During my research period, I worked with academics within my department to investigate "Belonging and Engagement in a Successful Transition to University", with a particular focus on how students with less typical entry routes to higher education experience belonging.
I'm always intruiged by different ways to apply the physics and mathematics from my course, with a particular interest in quantum physics, fluid dynamics and computational physics.
In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, tinkering with technology, and flying light aircraft.
Hi👋🏾 I’m Pearls
I am a final year Law student at the University of Leeds. I recently completed a placement year at The Walt Disney Company as a CPGP Contract Management Intern (hence the 'industrial' next to my degree title)
My first-year research project looked at the way game-based learning could be incorporated into Multi-Academy Trusts (aka MATs) to improve the academic attainment and classroom engagement of GCSE-year black students. My Leadership-in-Action project was with MakeSense and focused on empowering minority communities within Mexico City.
