The vast majority of St. Clare's graduates go to university as the next step in their career. Our students are welcomed by institutions all over the world, and during their two years at St. Clare's they are well prepared for university entry and given guidance and support in the applicaton process.
Most students start university immediately while a small proportion choose to develop their personal skills and interests by taking a ‘gap year' in which to travel, work or volunteer and thus improve their career prospects prior to continuing in education. Students applied far and wide and have been successful in taking places at prestigious universities around the world. This has been a year of excellent results which has ensured success for our students, particularly at a time when competition is strong.Summary of destinations for 2012 graduates: |
