Summary
I am 66. I retired as a Chartered Accountant to fulfill a lifelong ambition of going to study French and Italian at university. I was able to secure a place at Wolfson College Cambridge where I commenced my studies in October 2021. I spent my year abroad, from September 2023 through to June 2024, attending university courses in Montpellier (Paul-Valery) and Genoa (Universita di Genova). I have language certifications from each of those two univeristies in French and Italian at C1 level.
