A teenage refugee who missed out on studying medicine after being caught up in last year’s A-level downgrading is now set to pursue her dream.
Zainab Fadhal, 20, from Nottingham, eventually had her results moved up after a government U-turn but by then her chosen university course was full.
Miss Fadhal and her family moved to the UK from Iraq in 2014 when she was 14 years old after an attack on her primary school.
She was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which influenced her decision to study medicine.
