“The annual Culture Day is definitely one of my
core memories, as I was able to perform in front
of the entire college and share my culture with
others. My favourite subject has been Biology. I
love how practical the course is. My advice to new
students is to take advantage of the many offers at
B6 such as the enrichment programme, as it will
benefit you both personally and professionally. I am
now hoping to study Wildlife Conservation at the
University of Salford.”
