Encouraged by her law tutor, Hannah successfully applied for a place on The Sutton Trust’s Pathway to law course.

After completing her placement at the University of Manchester, Hannah will join other talented A Level students at the university, where over the course of two years, they will take part in sessions including subject-specific revision, CV and interview techniques, choosing and applying to the right university and workshops on different areas of law.

She will also attend a trip to the Inner Temple in Law, various open days at other Pathways universities and attend a residential conference to give students a taste of life at university.

Hannah said: “I studied GSCE law and wanted to explore careers in this profession.

“I was really excited to be offered a place, I had to take part in a university application style process so was thrilled when I found out I had been successful.

My ultimate aim is to study law at either Oxford or Cambridge and hopefully this experience will help me to realise my ambitions.”
