Well
done Dr Barry!
Sayka
has recently completed a PhD from Queen Mary (University of London) and
is now working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Molecular
Oncology & Imaging, Institute of Cancer, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Sayka
joined the ACCESS programme in 1997-98. This is what she said:
‘When I came for the interview for the Access to Science course I was
asked where I would like to see myself in 5 years time... I said I will
be doing my PhD... Finally I did receive a scholarship for a PhD but it
took me a little bit longer (Access course to PhD) to come to this point’. |

Congratulations
Dr Coogan
If
you're a regular on these pages you will know that Joy
was an Access student who finished here in 1998. Since
then Joy has gone on to do marvellous things with the
opportunities an Access Certificate gave her.
She
studied for a degree in Psychology at the University
of East London. She liked it so much she ended up working
there as a researcher and lecturer and, recently, gained
her doctorate in Psychology.
This
is a marvellous achievement for someone who once described
herself as an 'ordinary mum of 5 children'.
Be
surprised at what you can achieve at Tower Hamlets College.

the success stories coming...
PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE... keep sending in your success stories.
Here are three more of our former students who
have gone on to bigger and better things since deciding
to return to college and go on and get a degree.
Earlyna
Edwards contacted us in November last year to let us
know that she completed her BSc in Computer Information
Studies from Greenwich University and is now setting
up a business that sells gospel music. She left
Arbour Square in July 2004, and graduated last summer,
and appears to be as happy and smiley as she always
was at Arbour Square.
Abdul Malik left us in 2002. He went on to Goldsmiths College
and completed a degree in Applied Social Science, in Youth & Community
& Social Development. He is now employed as a Youth Worker
in Tower Hamlets, is a guest lecturer on the Goldsmiths College
Social Work programme, and is also training to become an NVQ & VRQ
Assessor.
Marie-Therese
Parchment completed her Access to Science course at
Tower Hamlets in 2000 and went on to study Podiatry at UCL.
She is now a fully qualified Podiatrist, working in Newham.
So, if you want your aching feet looked at...! She is now
contemplating returning to study to train as a doctor.
We
wish them all the very best on their future successes.
