A Levels in Psychology, Chemistry, Biology

Previous student progressed to Birmingham University to study Psychology

“Before attending Ludlow College, I tried out a larger sixth-form college and just didn’t find it personal enough. I changed my mind about where to study and switched to Ludlow College, due to the small class sizes and one-to-one attention from tutors. I don’t regret my decision at all, as I really enjoyed studying my A Levels at Ludlow.

Having left the College 4 years ago now, I completed my degree in Psychology at the University of Birmingham and I am now studying for my Masters. My research project is based on virtual reality technology used by the educational theatre production company, Round Midnight. I wanted to share my research project ideas with students at Ludlow College, to give back to the College that gave me so much. I presented my project plan and the students had the chance to test out the virtual reality technology for themselves.

I would certainly recommend the College to others, as I really found my feet and it set me up for my further academic career. My undergraduate dissertation and Masters dissertation are going to be published in psychology journals, which I feel is such an achievement.”
