A FORMER student of Holsworthy Community College and Callywith College has recently graduated with a degree in Law from the University of Oxford.

Georgia Stevens studied A Level Law, History, Geography, and the Extended Project Qualification during her time at Callywith College, going on to study Law at St Anne’s College, Oxford University, where she thrived both academically and personally.

Reflecting on her university experience, Georgia said: “I had an amazing time studying law at Oxford University. I made lifelong friends and enjoyed playing netball alongside my studies, a highlight being representing Oxford in the annual Oxford vs Cambridge netball varsity match.

“Graduating has been a very rewarding experience as I have worked really hard during my entire time at university. I enjoyed the more independent style of study that Oxford offers, which for law involved reading cases and articles set by the professors and submitting an essay weekly, before engaging on a discussion on my interests and opinions in a tutorial with a professor and only one other student."

Georgia credited Callywith College for its role in helping her journey to Oxford, adding: “My time at Callywith was pivotal in applying for Oxford. I had never considered going to Oxford until my Law lecturer Charlotte encouraged me to attend an Oxbridge lecture run by Callywith’s Academic Academy, and from then on I decided I had nothing to lose by applying.”

Looking ahead, Georgia shared her exciting next steps: “I have accepted a job offer to be a corporate lawyer in London at one of the top law firms in the world. I completed an internship at the firm and really enjoyed working on high-value transactions in both the corporate and litigation sphere. Before I start my job, I will be undertaking a one-year Masters in Legal Practice in London to enhance my corporate law knowledge and skills.”
