A-Level Maths & all
Sciences
I live in Luton but my local college didn’t
offer the courses I was interested in. I began to look at other
colleges online and found Bedford College. I liked the look of the
campus so I went for an interview and I was really impressed. I
decided that I wanted to come to Bedford College.
I want to be a paediatrician so studying
science will help my knowledge of how to deal with children. It
helps that the tutors take an interest in student’s individual
strengths and weakness and they are also genuinely concerned for
our welfare. In my spare time I like to relax in the student common
room and whenever I’m not in college I can always keep up with
what’s happening in class by logging onto the student intranet. My
next step is University to study medicine and achieve my goal of
becoming a paediatrician.

A-Level Sociology, Biology & Psychology
Coming to Bedford College was about changing
my environment. I wanted a more mature setting which was something
school couldn’t offer me. I’ve always enjoyed and had an interest
in sociology, biology and psychology and I found that I had a
natural talent, so choosing to study these subjects was an easy
choice.
At the moment I don’t really have a direct
plan for the future. I’m not sure if I want to go to university,
for the time being I’m just concentrating on my exams and then I
will explore my options.

A-Level Economics, Maths, Biology &
Chemistry
My previous school didn’t offer economics as
an A Level. I knew about Bedford College so I came to an Open Day
and saw that the facilities were much better. I also attended the
Taste of the Action Day which allowed me to experience what the
College had to offer and decide if the subjects were the right ones
for me. I definitely made the right decision, the College has
offered me lots of different experiences and opportunities, I am a
Student Legend and I have helped out at the Open Days.
I really enjoy my lessons, it’s a really
motivating environment. I would like to continue studying science
but I’m not too sure in what context. Whatever my final decision I
know the tutors will help and support me along the way.
