Hafsa Begum I had no intention of going to university when I first started, I really only looked as far as going to college in order to get a job after I completed my GSCEs. The best thing about Oldham College is that you get to put into practice what you learn. The tutors really helped me grow my confidence and raise my aspirations. I’m really excited about moving onto university and want to do a Masters after my degree. Education: North Chadderton High School Hafsa studied: Health & Social Care, Childcare Level 3 Next step: Edge Hill University studying Childcare & Youth Studies
