Ellena received a reduced offer to study at the University through the Access to Leeds contextual admissions scheme.
Access to Leeds helped me through the application process when I was going through a difficult time while studying my A-levels. The support I got meant that I didn’t miss out on a university place. Now I’m here I’m excited about a career in music therapy.
My name is Ellena. I’m studying Music and Music Psychology. I had a lot of personal obstacles to overcome during my A-levels. I’m grateful that Access to Leeds helped me navigate the whole application process. Not having to worry so much about grades gave me the breathing space I needed, and the Access to Leeds module gave me the opportunity to reinforce the skills I’d need for university study. I hope to use my degree to move into a therapy role when I graduate, helping young people use music to overcome trauma.
