Oscar wins race for place

But, after missing out on some of his predicted A-level grades, he found himself racing to rethink his original plans for higher education.

Oscar, now 20, was quick off the starting blocks, visiting the university that was his second choice on the day his results came out. He quickly realised he hadn’t made the right decision and entered Clearing instead.

Oscar jumped at the chance to enrol at Kingston after coming for an interview and deciding it had a winning combination of location, facilities and teaching staff. He has now completed his second year of a business with French course “I’m really pleased with how well I’ve done in the subjects I’ve chosen,” he said. “It’s also been a big boost to be able to join the university’s talented athlete scheme, set up to support students competing at regional, national or international level.”
