      Hi, I got 1 A 3Bs 6 Cs and a D (in German) at GCSE and I didnt do A levels I did the international Bac. THat meant I took 6 subjects which I did ok in. (1A 2Bs 2Cs 1D) Yes I did a degree, I did an undergraduate degree in Immunology at the University of Leicester and then a MAsters degree at Imperial College, London.
      To be hoenst I really can;t remember which subjects at GCSE I took, by in the IB I did, Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Maths, World Literature, and Spanish. I also had to do philosophy for a bit as well.

      Hi, I did the French system and then the International Baccalaureate. My final grade for the IB was 40/45. My higher levels were Biology (6/7), Chemistry (7/7) and English A1 (6/7). My standard levels were French A1 (7/7), Maths methods (6/7) and Information Technology (7/7).

      I then did my bachelors at Imperial College in Microbiology. I got funding for a 4 year masters+PhD (masters in Biochemical Research) course so I stayed on at Imperial and I’m currently in my first year of PhD.

      Well when i left school I finished with nothing, I failed all my g.c.s.e’s as when i was in school I wasted my time and just didnt work. When I got a little older i thought what an idoit I have been so i went back to college where I did my gcse’s again so i got 1A, 3Bs and 1 C. From here I found I loved doing maths so I did A-Level maths and I got a distiction. I then did a foundation degree in Technology which I also got a distiction and finially finished my degreee with a 2.1 and now doing my PHD in nano coated piston rings
