Ben, A-Levels - Geology, Physics and Maths
“I love studying my A-Levels at Bedford
College. I had the option to carry on at my school sixth form but I
didn’t feel as though I could achieve as much in a school
environment. The College environment is fantastic, I am treated as
an adult and given the freedom to learn in the way which best suits
me – tutors help rather than instruct.”
“After completing my exams I’m aiming to get
into medicine and become a doctor, first working in Accident and
Emergency before becoming a GP.”
Amy, A-Levels - Chemistry, Maths, Biology and Geography
“Bedford College has been a completely new
experience for me. Up until I joined the College I lived and
studied in Africa. Coming to Bedford has enabled me to experience a
new culture and meet new people.”
“I think the College facilities are really
good; I study Chemistry and Biology and the science labs are
excellent. I’m looking to work in medicine as a career and I feel
that Bedford College will give me a great platform to do that.”
“Tutors at the College are amazing, you always
feel able to ask questions and they are always happy to help and go
out of their way for me. Student services have been excellent for
me even helping me to get voluntary work.”
Nadine, Forensic Science BTEC National Diploma
“I’ve always had an interest in science, and
Forensic Science in particular seemed especially interesting so I
decided to study on the Access – Pathway to Advanced Studies.”
“The course has excellent teachers, and I like
that you have a responsibility for individual study. I have
children, and the College has been very helpful with funding for
care of the kids. After the course, I’d like to go to University
and gain employment in Crime Scene Investigation.”
Aderinto, A Levels - Chemistry, Maths and Biology
“I originally began studying at Dunstable
College however there was more opportunity at Bedford College to
study what I really wanted to. I’ve always enjoyed the Sciences and
my courses at Bedford really allow me to specialise in them.”
“Our tutors are really friendly and create a
great environment, I also spend a lot of time researching in the
Library and have used Student Services several times.”
“After I finish at the College I plan to move
on to university to continue my science studies – I’m not sure
which area I want to specialise in yet but I know I’m going to end
up in the Science industry.”
Charlotte, Forensic Science National Diploma
“Forensic Science is a specialised course, and
although my school did offer science courses, these were too
general for my needs. The course consists of many exciting modules,
with the Biology orientated ones really appealing to me.”
“I find that you are treated much more like an
adult compared to Sixth Form, and although I suffer from seizures,
the College has been very helpful and accommodating. I hope to
continue my interest in Forensic Science to degree level at
University.”
