What our students say
"A degree is something I’ve wanted for a long time, so it felt emotional to graduate and celebrate everything coming to an end. I also got a First, which is a great achievement for me. When I left school, I didn’t think the university route was for me, so I went straight into an apprenticeship, but I knew, as time progressed, that I was capable of achieving what I’ve done now.
"I missed learning and it was good to get back into education to get my brain ticking over again. I now have a role working as a Junior Designer with Home.cc and I have the course to thank for that."
