    NWRC provides a great stepping-stone between school and University. My course has helped me decide which field of science I want to work in. I plan to study Psychology at University.

    There was no point in studying for 3 A-Levels I was never going to use. I achieved 8 As and 2 Bs in my GCSEs. The College was perfect for me because I wanted to specialise in Music Production, which I couldn't do at school.
