Katie’s Journey: From T Level Science to Biochemistry at the University of Lincoln

Katie chose UTCN Sixth Form specifically for its strong STEM focus—and it’s been the perfect fit!

Why UTCN?

“I wanted a place where science was the main priority, and UTCN’s focus on STEM stood out.”

What did she enjoy most?

“The smaller class sizes made learning so much more personal, and the science teachers were incredibly supportive and passionate.”

Why Biochemistry?

“Katie’s goal is clear: to earn her degree and build a career in scientific research where she can make a real impact.”

Her advice to current UTCN students:

“Some rules might seem a bit ‘silly’ at times, but trust me—they’re there to help you succeed and get the best grades possible. Stick to them!”

Katie’s story is a great example of how choosing the right environment and staying focused can pave the way to exciting opportunities in science.
