“I won a coveted place to study medicine at Glasgow University. There is fierce competition to get into medical schools, and Stow’s Access course is designed specifically to provide mature students with the entry qualifications. It was a very close-knit class and we all pulled together to help each other out. It was a fantastic experience.”
