Hundreds of Nottingham College GCSE students received their results today (22nd August). Among the successful students were a number of adult learners who have returned to education for a change of career or to improve their prospects.
Among those celebrating is Brazilian, Soliane Keown-Boyd, 31, who came to Nottingham in 2018 with English as her second language. With hopes of pursuing a career in nursing, she enrolled at Nottingham College to study GCSE English alongside an Access to Health Professions course.
With her grades, Soliane will progress to the University of Nottingham to study Adult Nursing and eventually she’d like to do a PhD in Public Health. She said: “From a young age I have always known I wanted a job that can help people. The Access course was perfect because it bridged the gap to enable me to progress to university in the UK.
