Maryam Fardan

I am a design professional with over 10 years of experience and a passion for education and lifelong learning. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Design from Bahrain Polytechnic and a Master’s degree in Visual Communication Design Management from Arden University, UK, where I graduated with Distinction and received the Dean’s Prize and Arden Achiever Postgraduate Award.

Having experienced both Bahraini and British higher education systems, I understand the challenges students face when exploring university opportunities, particularly when considering studying abroad or through distance learning.

How I Can Help You

As a student mentor, I can guide you through selecting suitable universities and programmes, understanding admission requirements, preparing applications, and writing effective personal statements and motivation letters.

I can also share practical advice on UK university expectations, academic writing, research skills, time management and adapting to postgraduate studies.

With my professional background, I can offer specialised guidance to students interested in design, creative industries, UX/UI and related disciplines, including portfolio preparation and career development.

My approach is friendly, supportive and personalised. I aim to help you explore your options, make informed decisions and confidently take the next step in your academic journey.
