Future Pathways: Jasmine follows her love of languages to the University of Cambridge

Walk through the quad with Jasmine and you will be surrounded by Junior pupils rushing up to speak with her. A familiar and fun face in the After School Club she has really enjoyed the independent aspects of her final year in school at Robert Gordon's College.

Jasmine has had an interesting journey towards her next destination at the University of Cambridge to study Modern and Medieval Languages. Initially following a STEM pathway, her love of languages inspired her to change direction and follow her passion.

Jasmine says: "My favourite subject was Advanced Higher French, especially the speaking aspect, so this really motivated me to pursue languages at degree level. Originally, I was interested in going down the STEM route but then realised my passion is languages and the teachers were very supportive, guiding me along the way.

"I really enjoyed the independent aspect of S6, it has been my favourite year at Robert Gordon’s College. I have also loved working with the Junior School pupils and the Out of Hours Care team in the After School Club this year. It was so much fun! It really helped balance everything when I encountered an injury which led to a year out from competitive sport.  

"I am unsure about what career path I will take after university but I do know I would love to live in another country for a while.” 

Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt Jasmine.
