Ben’s Story
Budding Biochemistry student Ben has received an offer to study at Oxford University, after studying four top A Levels.
Ellie’s Story
Ellie, who has received an offer to study History at Oxford, credits her lecturers and the great learning environment at Truro College to help her achieve her goal.
I knew I wanted to do Medicine before coming to College so I needed to do Biology and Chemistry and I thought Psychology would be helpful with a Medicine degree. It’s already helpful now looking at it and it’s really interesting. It’s so nice trying something new. [Emily] was our Medics’ Academy lecturer and she was absolutely amazing.
Abi, Successful Medicine Applicant
