Further Study
Validated by Ulster University the Foundation Degree is an Ulster University degree in its own right but also provides the opportunity to progress to the final year of the Honours Business degree at Magee (after successful completion of a summer bridging module subject to entry criteria). Students who choose this option would complete a BSc Hons Business degree in 3 years full time study (2 years NWRC plus 1 year Magee).Career Prospects
Progression opportunities include careers in Marketing, Finance, Business Development and Human Resources.Enquiry

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.Dearbhla Duddy (Music Production) -
I've won 11 awards at independent film festivals, including Best Director and Best Short Film. The support I received at NWRC gave me the confidence to pursue my passion.Ryan O'Connor (Media)
