Why did you chose to come to Petroc?
I chose to come to Petroc because of the good location and I knew it was good for sciences. The location is convenient as it gave me time to study.

What made you choose your course?
I originally chose these courses because I wanted to do medicine.

What did you most enjoy about studying at Petroc?
My highlights are the people I’ve met here, they’re friends for life. I loved the trip to Geneva as it meant being away with friends and the scenery was amazing. I was part of the Vet Med academy and that was really good – it involved training and interview prep, case studies and practice. The dissections were a highlight too. Also, all three lecturers were lovely, Debbie, Gemma and Kathy (Biology).

What are your future plans?
I’m going to study a Maths degree at Bristol. I think out of the three subjects, maths was the one I was strongest and best at, so made sense to stick with that path and see what doors open up to me.

Do you have any advice for someone choosing the same course as you?
Stick with what you enjoy!
