Hannah was also a valued member of QE’s women’s football team, balancing her academic commitments with sport and teamwork.
Speaking about her success, Hannah said:”I’ve really enjoyed my time at QE – it’s been fantastic. The support from the Careers Team has been outstanding, particularly throughout the lengthy medicine application process.The Medics Society was incredibly useful as it gave me the opportunity to meet other students going through the same process, while learning how to strengthen my application and gain a better understanding of what a career in medicine involves.QE provided me with a great balance of academic study and extracurricular activities. Joining the women’s football team in my first year was another fantastic way to meet new people and make the most of my college experience.”
