What is your name?

Fatema Bandukwala 

What is your degree, and where are you studying?

Business Information Technology at the University of Kent 

Why did you enter Clearing?;

Initially, I planned to study biomedical sciences and have a career in public health. I remember, as results day approached, I felt scared and nervous because I realised I’d changed my mind and was more interested in studying a degree that was business and IT-focused.

How did you find the Clearing process?

At first, I did panic! But then I called the Clearing line, found the Business Information Technology course at Kent, and was able to get a place. There was so much support throughout the whole process that, looking back now, I can't believe how nervous I was. Everything worked out in the end – I'm about to graduate in two months. I really do think changing my course was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
