    The traditional route of A-Levels just wasn’t for me. My years at NWRC were amazing, significantly shaping my creative journey. The facilities and lecturers are the best. I felt incredibly prepared to study Fashion Design at Ulster University.

    I plan to further my studies at university and move to Australia to become a Mechanical Design Engineer. I would 100% recommend my course. It has taught me what I need to know to succeed.
