Student profile

Juan Alvarez

It seems that we are learning new things every day, says Juan, who is on the Medical Science BTEC. I particularly enjoy the practical work and have had the opportunity to do work experience at Barts Simulation Centre. We've also had the very valuable chance to take part on one of Oxford University's pre-med courses, which was really interesting. I would recommend the College because it's well-known and has high academic standards, and because being here has given me ideas on how to achieve my goals in studying medicine at university.
