    The support I received at College helped prepare me for work in the Healthcare sector. I'm now a fully qualified, registered nurse.

    At 16, I knew I wanted to be part of the creative industry, but I wasn't certain which avenue to pursue. 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.
