Yurika Oshio

Japan , CATS Canterbury, A-level

Yurika progressed to Cambridge University where she is studying Vereinary Medicine.

What do you think gave you the edge?
"The university tutors... understood that you can't know everything about a subject - that's what you're going to university for... I did work experience in Veterinary Surgeries and farms, and I also worked at a zoo, which is where I became particularly interested in conservation and animal welfare. That gave me practical experience and plenty to talk about during the interview."

Yurika's ambition is to work in animal conservation.
