'Hi, I’m Eva, a first year medical student at Southampton University having just completed my A-Levels at Pangbourne. So far I am absolutely loving the course and the variety of topics covered in the first semester! Our current module is all about the foundations of Medicine, so we’ve covered all sorts, from DNA to oncology to pathology, and, of course, lots of anatomy! As you can imagine, navigating the Medicine application process is far from easy. Pangbourne were great in supporting me through it and sending me lots of work experience opportunities! In fact, it was the online work experience sent to me during lockdown that solidified my decision to study Medicine.

 

Pangbourne also helped when it came to sitting the entrance exam (the infamous UCAT), which I personally found very tricky. On top of that, teachers were great at helping me write a competitive personal statement. When it came to the interview process, I received one-to-one support, which varied from going through any potential questions to calming me down the day before! Each interview was different from the last, so I hugely appreciated all the help I could get.

 

Pangbourne provided excellent support, both academic and pastoral, which led me to getting two offers to study Medicine at Russel Group Universities, which I am very grateful for.'
