Jahan Pusey - Former biology student of The Sixth Form College, Farnborough​
​
We are thrilled that our recent alumna Jahan can join us on Wednesday 12th November to share her experience of being a biology stuident at the college, and to offer advice and support for those currently studying the course. Jahan did not take other supporting STEM subjects alongside biology, which brings with it, its own inherent challenges - which Jahan rose to, ultimately achieving a fantastic grade in the final exams. For students in a similar position, this talk is one not to be missed.
