Many congratulations to former Rochester Independent student Dr Hassan Khan who popped into Star Hill today to share news of his graduation from UCL as a fully fledged medical doctor! He's pictured here with some of his Science teachers at the College, Michael Stanley, Dr Sophie Hilton and Dr Jon Sullivan. Hassan joined RIC in 2017 for a one year GCSE course from an international school in Saudi Arabia. He then completed his A levels in the RIC sixth form before proceeding to UCL for medicine. Advising potential applicants looking to follow in his footsteps Hassan said: "Now, why medicine? I want you to feel comfortable, and relaxed when answering this, whether it is to yourself in the mirror, or to a friend or to your interviewer. I want you to put into the words the hours of pondering, researching and reflecting you have done, and to allow that strong rush of passion to coat your answer when describing the future as a doctor that you see."
