I had the opportunity to prepare for two A-level courses at Foundation College alongside the final two years of my high school education, successfully achieving an A* in Mathematics and an A in Physics. Foundation College was truly a place where I felt both motivated and supported. I received an excellent level of support from exceptional teachers and caring people. This played a significant role in preparing me for university, both academically and in shaping my approach to studying. Due to my great exam results I managed to earn a place at Newcastle University with an excellence scholarship to study Marine Engineering.

Studying at Foundation College was a truly meaningful experience for me. The supportive atmosphere, dedicated teachers, and strong sense of community helped me grow academically while also building confidence in myself. What stood out to me most was how genuinely the staff listened to students. Whenever an issue arose, there was always a willingness to understand, communicate, and do their best to offer support and solutions. I felt truly valued as a student. I am especially grateful for the guidance and encouragement I received when I believed I had missed my opportunity to apply to university. Thanks to the support of the team, I was able to move forward and achieve my goal of continuing my studies at university in the United Kingdom! Something that meant a great deal to me. I look back on my time at Foundation College with gratitude, as it provided me with a strong foundation and reassurance during an important stage of my academic journey.
