Abigail has always had a passion for Biology. She came to Preview Day with her school and loved the facilities and the light open spaces. The range of A Levels on offer meant she could study Environmental Science, which really appealed to her. "When I travelled to Oxford to look around the university, I knew straight away it was the place for me." Her ultimate goal is to work as a Genetic Engineer.
