“I became a Student Content Creator in my first year at Dundee and I am forever grateful for this opportunity. As a medical student, I was apprehensive about applying as I thought it would be too much pressure with my studies and a job. However, my experience has been the complete opposite. Not only are the team very accommodating to my schedule as a student, creating content has been a way for me to relieve stress and express my creativity. I’ve had the chance to meet other amazing students with the same passion for content creation while also broadening my network on campus.”

Beyond the fun, this role has helped me gain confidence and develop professionally, providing skills that will benefit my future career.”
