    Everything the Music departament at NWRC had on offered sounded appealing and was the obvious next step for me after my GCSEs.

    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!
