University

I now attend the University Of Nottingham where I am studying international business management with a year in industry, this was a university all my teachers knew I wanted to be at and they provided me with the resources and encouragement to achieve the grades necessary to do so. I would highly recommend MAA sixth form as it has pathed the way for my future and broadened my horizons. As for my future I hope to achieve a first class in my degree and hope to peruse a career in investment banking.
