I was given so many opportunities, such as producing the college’s first ever official podcast, Talk NWRC. After graduation I got my first job as a Marketing Assistant with a local PR agency!Ciara Barnett (Media) -
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.Aoife Harvey (Art & Design)
