Theo
Human, Social, and Political Sciences
Cambridge

At Cambridge, Theo studied Human, Social, and Political Sciences, specialising in anthropology in his final year, with interests spanning religion, social theory, cognition, and medical anthropology. He gained First Class Results in every examination paper, and in his third year earned a rare ‘Starred’ First Class to reflect a particularly high average grade. Following graduation, Theo enrolled at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he trained as an actor, during which time he also worked as a research assistant to a Professor of Economics and Organisational Theory at UCL, having his own paper published in an international colloquium. Theo’s interest in education took him away from the arts as he took a role as Head of Consultancy at Oxbridge Applications, and more recently Head of Oxbridge Applications. Across the COVID lockdown in 2021, Theo completed an MSc in Psychological Sciences from Birkbeck College, University of London, finishing at the top of his year with a high Distinction. Theo relishes introducing students to the social sciences, helping them to think across disciplines, and to encourage them to think critically about their assumptions.
