    NWRC is one of the best Art colleges around and it was right on my doorstep, so I thought 'why not!' and I've never looked back.

    I completed two 3-month work placements in Belgium and Fuerteventura with the Erasmus+ programme. I was so grateful for the opportunity as it allowed me to gain valuable industry knowledge and experience. I’ve currently been offered a 6-month position in Turkey as a Holiday Rep with TUI.
