“My teachers and I are working towards my goals. They provide me with the support I need by putting on extra lessons during free periods. Studying here has turned me into an independent individual, and this is needed in business.

The college provides different activities for students which keeps everything around the school interesting, and staff members are always willing to help. Volunteering club gives me the opportunity to help in the community. It is a beautiful school that helps you to improve your talents.”

“It’s special because of the amount of growth you experience in just two years. You don’t just grow as an individual but as a member of a dynamic community.

My dream is to be a doctor, studying at Abbey Cambridge will help me achieve this through the level of discipline I have learned here. The Pre-Degree Diploma Programme has helped me with the rigorous application to medical school, and especially with the interview process as we have mock interviews to prepare for the real thing.

My time at Abbey College Cambridge was two years well spent.”

“The college never lets students slack and pushes them to achieve their best. Teachers provide regular tests and homework and are willing to give extra help when you ask for it.

My favourite memories were the May Ball at Cambridge University and the friends I made in Cambridge. There is good diversity in the college and you can learn about other people’s culture. The new campus enables better and more convenient learning.”
