LONDON-Only 14-year-old Elias Kim of Oxfordshire will be in history as one of the youngest students in the UK. This month will start the prestigious Imperial College London, where he will study biomedical engineering alongside his ten years older sisters.
Elias, who has already done A-Levels in the eighth year, is one of the exceptional children with above-average results. In GCSE he won the highest possible stamps AV A-Levels achieved and* in mathematics, other mathematics, chemistry and physics, s and biology. His genius showed up in his childhood – he skipped years, became a chess champion and managed a foreign language by watching children’s shows.

“I’ve always been in contact with the elders, so I don’t feel nervous. I look forward to meeting new friends and an adventure awaits me,” said a young student for what’s the jam. The family who has supported his talent from the beginning says that Elias is learning easily and without much effort. “It is fascinating how it can achieve such results, even if they dissipate quickly and prefer to play,” admitted his sister Juliana.

Not the only genius in the family
Although Elias originally dreamed of medicine, he could not have been accepted for age. However, Imperial College accepted it without conditions – for the first time ever in her history, she awarded a student to a student younger than 16 years. Despite its uniqueness, Elias remains a typical teen, Minecraft, Roblox and Genshin, reads comics and is interested in spells. And it is not the only genius in the family. His younger sister Ariel, today 11-year-old, has already completed GCSE with the highest grades and plans to go to Elias soon in footsteps.
