Biography

Studying at Petroc was a real turning point in my life.

I have my amazing teachers to thank for encouraging me to believe in myself and achieve the best grades that I could.

I loved all three of my A-levels, but English Literature has always been my favourite subject and I enjoyed the interesting discussions we had in class, which challenged my thinking and made me see texts in a different light every time. Applying to Cambridge is not something I’d ever even considered before it was suggested to me by my English Literature lecturer, and I’m so grateful for all the help and support I received from Petroc that enabled me to get an offer from such a prestigious institution.

COURSE(S) STUDIED
