“I never really knew what I wanted to do after college. However, with the help of the Careers Team and my new love for Statistics and Psychology, I knew that I want to be a Clinical Psychologist.

I love Maths but I found A Level Maths too difficult so I changed to Statistics where I was met with loads of support. I find the exam questions more predictable than the Maths ones. Studying Statistics alongside my other two subjects has helped me excel in all of these lessons.

I highly recommend Statistics because it is a great subject to extend your knowledge and supports other subjects so well.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Carmel. I learnt a lot, both academically and personally. Carmel has been pivotal to what I have achieved so far, thanks to their exceptional teaching, the supportive environment, and the friends I made.

“I attended LJMU where I obtained a 1st Class Honours in Mathematics. During my time there, I worked for the university as a Maths tutor for Engineering students, I published a paper entitled ‘Antibiotic Prescribing Trends in Primary Care 2014-2022’ in a peer-reviewed journal, and I completed a summer placement with Applied Microbiology International, focusing on data analytics.

“In December 2024, I graduated from the London School of Economics with Distinction in MSc Data Science. Whilst at LSE, I undertook a 9-monthcapstone project partnered with Deutsche Bank, researching the application of Deep Reinforcement Learning for portfolio management. In January 2025, I will begin my career at Barclays as an AVP – Decision Analyst.”
