Where the messy MAFS UK 2025 cast went to uni, the niche subjects they studied

They should’ve taken modules in drama


Believe it or not, the MAFS UK gang did all have real lived before they popped up on our TVs. Loads of the MAFS UK 2025 cast went to uni, and studied some pretty random things. I had no clue that some of these subjects were real degrees.

So, here are all the MAFS UK 2025 cast members we know went to uni, plus what they studied:

Dean

Dean boasts a first in music management from the University of West London. Although, it’s not clear if he’s managed many musicians since. Dean has mostly worked on cruise ships, and performed in pantomimes.

Divarni

He studied forensic psychology at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto. He then did a degree in criminology and sociology atRoyal Holloway, University of London from 2021 to 2024. According to his braggy LinkedIn, he had a particular interest in the  “intersection of social structures and individual agency, and how this shapes outcomes within both local and global contexts.”

He did an undergrad degree in communication studies at the University of Chester. One module focused on Politics and Scandal, which must have been excellent preparation for MAFS dinner parties.

Keye

I had no idea Keye braved a law degree. He attended London South Bank University between 2010 and 2013. Keye became engaged to his first husband only a year later.

Leo

He studied graphic design (not hot dog-eating) at the University of Portsmouth. Surely, this means graphic design is literally his passion?

She’s such a high achiever. Nelly gradated from the University of Sheffield‘s dental school in 2027, and ranked in the top 15 per cent of dentistry grads. That’s a Russell Group uni. Yay for her. She also did exams at the Royal College of Surgeons.

Sarah

She has a degree in events management from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. She also did a course at the the Scottish Institute of Theatre Dance, Film and Television, which used to be called the MGA Academy of Performing Arts, and suddenly closed in May.
