Case Studies

Next year, I’m going to university as I’ve been offered an unconditional place at the University of Huddersfield to study Interior Design which is my passion and dream job.

Taking part in the Chemistry Olympiad made me realise I wanted to study Chemistry at a higher level—and now I’ve secured a place at the University of Oxford.

I chose this course because in the future, I would like to open up my own business in the hospitality industry like a restaurant.

After I complete my A Levels, I am going to Sheffield Hallam University to study Illustration as my dream job is to be an illustrator in the creative industry.

I’ve now applied to study Law at the Leeds Beckett University and Leeds Trinity University as my dream job is to be a solicitor or court judge.

All the tutors are supportive and give you personalised feedback which has helped me improve in all areas of dance, especially with picking up choreography quicker.

I would recommend an apprenticeship to anyone. You earn whilst you learn and become responsible for your own future. It is a great opportunity.

My advice to other girls wanting to get into Engineering is to just do it. Don’t be shy, be confident.

You learn something new on the course everyday – I get to use different machines and tools such as lathes, pilar drills and all the safety equipment.
