°×С½ãÂÛ̳

Brahim achieved three A*s in his A level results, in biology, maths and chemistry, and will be arriving at °×С½ãÂÛ̳ this September to study chemistry.

The °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Academy's first set of A level results saw 80% of students entries achieving the higher A*-C grades at A2 level, and Academy students will be taking up places at universities that also include Cambridge, Bristol and King's College London.

Brahim highlighted the opportunity to study at °×С½ãÂÛ̳ for the first two weeks of his A level course as part of the Academy's induction programme as key to his decision to apply to °×С½ãÂÛ̳. "What made me really want to come to °×С½ãÂÛ̳ was its acceptance of students from all over the world, which made me feel that I would get an understanding of different cultures and an appreciation of the world in its entirety."

He added: "My long-term desire is to synthetically manufacture pharmaceutical drugs which could help people who suffer from various diseases and disorders. I would also love to explore the lost parts of chemistry, and to maybe discover something which would shape the science we know today."

Geraldine Davies, Principal of °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Academy, said:

"I am immensely proud of Brahim's achievements. As a '°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Academy Pioneer' his cohort has been the first of many to benefit from the unique experience of studying at an Academy sponsored by one of the best universities in the world. It is through the work with our sponsor °×С½ãÂÛ̳ that we have been able to create an environment that has inspired, challenged and supported him and many others in achieving such excellent results."

°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Vice-Provost (Education), Professor Anthony Smith, said:

"The first ever Academy student to be admitted to °×С½ãÂÛ̳ is something of a landmark for us, and we are really excited to be welcoming Brahim. The relationship between the school and the university is a close one, and I believe our ability to learn from and support each other has been crucial to the success of Brahim and the other students who have achieved such outstanding results this year."
