Excellent results for LAE Tottenham’s pioneering cohort!

Viktoriya Suleman who has won a place to study Biochemistry at Bristol said “It’s an exciting achievement knowing that I am the first in my family to go to university. LAE Tottenham has contributed to my development as an individual; the support that I received over the past two years has been amazing”.
