    My course allowed me to work on real-life projects. My favourite was the redesign of the Strand Road campus estate, as part of the Project Based Learning Awards. My group’s work was selected as one of the winning projects!

    I wanted better job opportunities and the Access course gave me the pathway towards the career I’ve always dreamed of. It was quite daunting returning to college but I found all the staff at Strabane campus really helpful and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable.
