I chose to study Applied Science because it’s a highly practical course, which has greatly boosted my understanding of scientific techniques such as looking at a heartbeat under a microscope. Justina Blair, Science Student
Hospitality Supervision & Leadership - Level 3 Diploma
Jerome says: "I chose to study at Merton College because it has excellent facilities for my Hospitality & Catering course. The College is very welcoming and my tutors are very supportive. As part of my course, I deliver a service to customers that visit the Taste Restaurant and I really enjoy interacting with them. We regularly host events and I like working as a team to co-ordinate these events. For example, we are often visited by members of the local community who come to the restaurant for lunch."
Once Jerome has completed his Diploma, he intends to study a Higher Level Apprenticeship in Hospitality and work for a major restaurant chain. His ultimate goal is to own a chain of restaurants one day.
"I decided to study Applied Science because it is highly practical and provides students with a good framework, whether you want to pursue a career in science or not. The course involves plenty of practical activities, all of which have greatly boosted my understanding of scientific techniques, such as looking at a heartbeat under a microscope. The teachers are down to earth and their support has contributed to my grades of D*D*D."
Justina achieved D*D*D and secured offers to study a Bio-medical Science degree at all of the universities she applied to.
