Evie Pritchard chose Coleg Sir Gâr to navigate her through her A-level studies and as a result and due to her commitment to her work, she is now enjoying her first year studying at University of Cambridge.
At college, Evie studied psychology, government and politics, sociology and AS maths and as a Coleg Sir Gâr student, she was part of the Wales-wide Seren Academy, aimed at high achieving students.
Evie was recently welcomed back to college, where she was one of the recipients for the Principal’s Award for Academic Excellence recognising her excellent skills in social science and an advocate for social justice.
Now reading human, social and political sciences at University of Cambridge, Evie reflects on her college experience and how it helped her transition to one of the best universities in the UK.
Evie Pritchard said:
“I am wholly grateful for the opportunities I received within my A-level studies to explore my interests in social inequality and intersectionality, both inside and outside of the curriculum.
“Inside of the curriculum, the literature and discussion I engaged with during my studies allowed me to develop skills that have been highly valuable to my university experience thus far, as I got the chance to critically think about and discuss the content I was learning.
“I was also fortunate enough to be able to explore my interests outside of my curriculum in events such as an International Women’s Day debate and through my completion of the Seren award.
“I was challenged by the broad range of content I covered during my studies that looked at political ideology, sociological and psychological perspectives, as well as mathematics and statistics.
“Throughout my time studying A-levels, the academic and wellbeing support I received helped me massively in my transition into higher education.”
