St Brendan’s students go on to a wide range of different university courses. From Politics and International Relations, to Architecture, Theatre Studies and Engineering. With over 70 different A-level courses to choose from in any combination, there’s many different options for students when they leave College.
Medicine however is a very popular choice for students. Our state-of-the-art science facilities prepare students well for degree-level study. Chloe Staniland and Hannah Slater are just two of our scientists who applied to study Medicine this year.
Chloe
Chloe studied Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and took an Extended Project Qualification at St Brendan’s. After collecting her results, the 18 year old was in shock to discover she had achieve 3 A*s and an A! “I really didn’t expect this!” she explained. Chloe will be going on to study Medicine at the University of Exeter in September.
Hannah was also in many of Chloe’s classes and had the same ambition of studying Medicine. Hannah studied Maths, Chemistry and Physics and successfully secured her place at Newcastle University with an impressive A* and two As! “My favourite part of studying sciences was learning about a specific cancer drug, which one of my relatives was successfully treated with during the time I was learning about it!” Hannah looks forward to putting her fascination with medicine and chemistry to the test next year in Newcastle.
