Zoology and Architecture are two of the more unusual degree courses that Thomas Clarkson students are looking forward to starting.

 Beth Ellerby, who achieved A Levels in maths, biology and French is heading to Hull to do a three year zoology degree. She said: ‘The course is like biology but on a larger scale so you look at ecology and the whole environment rather than just specifics. I am hoping that it might eventually lead to a career in conservation. I will miss Thomas Clarkson but I am happy to be moving to a new place.’

Aironas Budrys was ecstatic after being offered a place at his first choice, the University of Central Lancashire to study a seven year architecture degree after securing A Levels in product design and IT.

 He said: ‘I didn’t get the results I needed but I contacted my first choice directly and the person who had interviewed me said he was really impressed by my work, so he saw  potential and eagerness in me. I  had prepared by meeting  professional architects in London and Cambridge to find out more about it as a career. I looked at every university with an architecture course but the one I wanted was Preston, the city is so beautiful and there is amazing landscape, hills and scenery. Everyone was so friendly I just fell in love with the place!’
