It made sense for me to study in an area where I could work alongside my studies. There is a huge benefit to the HLA because you can study locally, there’s no course fees and you learn about the industry while you’re working. There are so many employment opportunities!Roberta Deehan (HLA in Hospitality and Tourism Management) -
I never had an easy time at school, but since being here at the College I’ve never felt more supported or valued. It really is an amazing place.Sarah Jane (Music Performance)
