'Dolphin doctor' Tsian is now living her dream

A UNIVERSITY of Plymouth student has been able to study her passion after going through clearing.

Tsian Deslandes was born in England, grew up in Trinidad and told her mum she would be a ‘dolphin doctor’ from the age of three.

But, with caring responsibilities and unsure of her academic ability, she wasn’t sure if she would be able to pursue higher education.

But after a call to the University of Plymouth’s Clearing hotline she was accepted... and so began to plan her future halfway across the world.

Now in her first year of BSc Ocean Science and Marine Conservation, she describes the ‘best decision she ever made’ and is helping students secure their own future by answering the phones in this year’s Confirmation and Clearing call centre.

Coming to university is a big life experience for anyone, but for Tsian Deslandes it was huge. Within two weeks she’d gone from working in a shop in her home of Trinidad to studying at the University of Plymouth.
