On Monday 20th March Zoe Johnson, who is currently in her third year at Cardiff University studying Medicine, came to talk to our students on the Excellence Programme in Year 11 and 12.

Zoe gave students an insight into what life is like as a medical student, as well as advice on applying to university, personal statement writing and gaining work experience. Students left with a better understanding of what was required of them to study Medicine and other pathways they could take in this career field.

Students enjoyed the presentation and individuals were able to speak to Zoe afterwards about their career pathways and were given advice. Year 12 student Magdalena Kot said, “It was very eye opening to what medicine requires from you and it is very useful for anyone who wants to go down that route”.

We would like to wish Zoe good luck with her studies and thank her for taking time to share her career with us, it was a great experience and has inspired many students!
