A-Level student Adam said the best things about studying at Sunderland College were the teaching facilities and enthusiastic lecturers that made the students want to learn.
He said: “The Maths A-Level sparked my passion for the subject. This really gave me the foundations needed to go to the University of Leeds and gain a First Class degree in Mathematics and postgraduate scholarship in Cloud Computing for Big Date at Newcastle University.
“The facilities were great and the staff were very friendly. Lots of extra-curricular activities were going on all the time like the football hosted at Bede campus”.
Adam is now working as a Senior Data Scientist at Sky Betting & Gaming.
