Employed
The Maths team were recently delighted to welcome back ex-student Oliver Southall to the College. He spoke to our Year 11 Maths students sharing his experience of studying four subjects at A level, his university choice, life at University and starting a career. At Uckfield College Oliver studied Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Chemistry (fluent in Spanish he should have taken Spanish A level!) and went on to read Maths at Warwick. He graduated in 2022. He started his career through a graduate programme in High Wycombe and is now a Credit Analyst for Vanquis Bank in London, plays squash and climbs.
