Sofia Muhammad

Enthusiastic university student who has just finished the second year.

Adept at independent research and offers good communication. Works well under strict deadlines.

Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award - I made posters for charity, and on the expedition, we had to navigate our way to various checkpoints, working together as a team.

Bank of England work experience- I did a week of work experience at the Bank of England where I had the opportunity to experience work experience in the Insurance Supervision Directorate. At the end of the week I presented what I had learnt to my host team.

Extended Project Qualification- Along with my A- Levels, I did an EPQ, and my topic was to question whether song lyrics could be classified as literature. I concluded that although lyrics could be classified as literature it didn't mean that the quality of them would be very high. This project really helped me to write about subjects with a lot more nuance and neutrality and I earned an A star grade at the end.

• Guitar- I enjoy playing guitar and composing songs in my spare team and have played in competitions
• Piano- I also play the piano and play a mixture of classical and contemporary music
• Singing- At school I would often have 20 minute singing lessons, where I also got up to grade 6
• Writing- As well as writing song lyrics I also write poetry
• Taekwondo- Currently I am a black tag in taekwondo, which is one belt away from black, I am hoping to achieve my black belt soon and looking forward to participate in some competitions

I have nine GCSES and 3 A Levels (AAB)
