Livvy Bridge studied A-Levels in Chemistry, Biology, Philosophy and History at Richmond upon Thames College from 2010-2012. After she finished her studies, she went on to the University of Oxford, gaining a BA in Experimental Psychology and an MSc in Mental Health from King’s College London. At the latter, she went on to a PhD programme, developing a new talking therapy for LGBT+ young adults with low self-esteem.
About her time at our college, Livvy said, “I have very fond memories of my time at Richmond upon Thames College. Most free periods were spent in Redwoods Café with friends – a lot of cookies were consumed.”
“I think mostly I learned how to use the guidance of teachers but be able to think and learn independently. I really enjoyed my two years at Richmond upon Thames College, especially the more relaxed atmosphere and approach to teaching compared to school. I think it helped a lot with my confidence and giving me a bit of the freedom and independence that helped the transition to university.”
