HENRIETTA, A-LEVEL CLASSICAL CIVILISATION, ENGLISH LITERATURE AND LAW

“The combination of the subjects I choose at Petroc really worked for me. Classics was my 4th subject and I had planned to drop it in the second year, but I found it really enjoyable as well as it complimenting my other subjects.

I chose my A level subjects at Petroc with the goal of University in mind - I am over the moon to be accepted at Exeter University on the BA in English. In the future I want to go into teaching, either primary or secondary, so I hope to do a PGCE after my degree.”
