Spotlight on Talent – Ishmail Hussain and Rex Jeffries

Ishmail Hussain
Studied: Level 3 Applied Science with A Level Biology
Progression: BSc Biomedical Science

“I would 100% recommend college after Year 11.  You’re treated like the adult you are becoming and not the child you used to be.

“Going somewhere new helped prepare me for university.  My courses are a good mix of exams and coursework.  On top of these we received university talks, industry demonstrations and careers advice.”

“Progressing on to  a biomedical science degree was my goal from day one.”

Rex Jeffries

“Studying a BTEC and an A Level meant my workload is spread over two years.  Lecturers are thorough with all the topics studied and there are lots of resources available to prepare you for every science-related university pathway you can follow.”
