Work experience in the laboratories at Harper Adams University is helping a Shropshire A-Level student to apply for university.
Jacob Farrington, who studies at Adams' Grammar School in Newport, is working on a research project as part of his application for the British Science Association's CREST Award scheme.
He hopes that completing the Gold level award will help to enhance his personal statement when he applies to study at university.
The CREST Award schemes are a range of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) enrichment activities aimed at inspiring 5-19 year-olds. The top award is Gold level and allows able students aged 16-19 to conduct real research projects.
For his project, Jacob has been analysing samples of seaweed and has been assisted by the university's laboratory staff and technicians.
