About Matthew:

What course are you studying and what level?

BM BCh Medicine

Why did you chose that course?

When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?

I learnt to row at Oxford. I love that it’s a sport where hard work is the key determinant of success: it’s a great equaliser.

Magdalen College Boat Club, Oliver Hedges

How has rowing and being part of the Boat Race squad impacted your life?

The squad has a lot of impressive people, who’ve had so many different successes. I’ve tried to learn as much as I can from each of them.
