Former Students

Class of 2022 Destinations

Excellent A Level results last year laid the foundations of ascension for the Class of 2022 to a diverse range of institutions around the world, where they are continuing their higher education journey.

Thanks to these internationally recognized qualifications, Canterbury School graduates are well equipped to embark on higher education studies either in Spanish at national institutions, or indeed around the world, where the language of instruction is English.

As far as destinations are concerned, Spain is still a very popular choice with Canterbury School students, and The Netherlands has also become a tremendously popular destination due to the fact that the universities offer a wide range of degree courses taught in English and the universities are highly regarded in world rankings. Other international destinations chosen by our most recent graduates are England, Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada and Switzerland.

Many congratulations to all these former students and to our dedicated, highly professional staff team. We wish them all the greatest of fortune and look forward to meeting again in the future. A full list of final destinations can be seen below.

Exploring the Exciting World of UX Design with Tata Consultancy Services

On Tuesday 13th December, Year 13 Computer Science students had the opportunity to learn about the exciting field of user experience (UX) design from a former student who is now a UX designer at Tata Consultancy Services in London. Maeinia, who joined the school via Zoom, shared his insights and answered questions about his work and the world of UX.

During the talk, Maeinia explained that UX design is all about understanding the needs of users and creating products and services that meet those needs in a user-friendly and enjoyable way. As a UX designer, Maeinia specializes in the synthesis, research, and testing phases of the UX design process. This includes conducting user research to gather insights about customer needs and preferences, exploring and refining design ideas, and testing designs with users to validate their effectiveness and identify any improvements that can be made. Through this process, Maeinia helps companies understand their customers and design solutions that meet their needs.

Maeinia also described a typical day in his work as a UX designer, which might include conducting user interviews, sketching ideas on a whiteboard or using design software, and collaborating with other designers and developers. He emphasized the importance of communication and problem-solving skills in his work, as well as the ability to adapt to change and learn new technologies.

The students were curious about what it's like to study and work abroad and asked Maeinia about his experience living and working in London. Maeinia shared that it has been a great opportunity for him to learn about different cultures, meet new people, and gain new perspectives on his work. He also advised the students to be open to new experiences and opportunities, and to take advantage of any chance they have to travel or study abroad.

Overall, the talk was a valuable opportunity for the Year 13 Computer Science students to learn about UX design and the exciting career opportunities it offers. Many thanks to Maeinia for sharing his expertise and experiences with us. We look forward to hearing from more professionals in the field in the future.
