Sophie Calderwood

Future Plans

Physics researcher/professor

My Future

Studying Physics with Astrophysics at University of Glasgow

Choosing My Destination

I was influenced by my physics teachers, Brian Cox and my grandad, who helped me find my passion for physics

Extra Curricular & Work Experience

I volunteered in Strathcarron Hospice Stenhousemuir shop and I was a waitress in Macdonald Inchyra Hotel

Skills I've Developed

Interpersonal skills - from my interactions with the general public
Creativity - from my wide range of subjects and hobbies e.g. sewing, knitting, embroidery etc.
Multitasking - from balancing school and work and completing multiple tasks at once in my jobs

My Advice

Don't worry yourself about choosing something right away. I was between a Physics and an English degree for the longest time. I didn't decide that I wanted to do a Physics degree until 3 days before the school's UCAS deadline. You'll know in yourself what you want to do and half the battle is finding something you love
