Meet Hannah, a student from Donegal who came to NWRC to gain a in-depth knowledge of Science. She says the course will open the door to many different career paths. Hannah plans to progress to university to study Psychology.
NWRC provides a great stepping-stone between school and University. My course has helped me decide which field of science I want to work in. I plan to study Psychology at University.

Tell us about your course
In this course, we study units that cover both the theory and practical aspects of a wide variety of scientific topics including physics, chemistry, and biology. With the opportunity to study such a wide range of topics within one course, this gives us a chance to discover which fields of science we would be best suited to work in or what we would be most interested in studying further in university.
During my course I won the 2023 Project Based Learning Student Ambassador Award.

What is the best thing about College life?
I think NWRC is a great stepping-stone between school and university. This course teaches us a lot more about time management than school did when it comes to partaking in long practical activities and submission of assignments which is an essential skill for further education.
-----
What is your plan for after you complete your course?
I plan is to study Psychology at Ulster University, Coleraine.
-----
Would you recommend this course to other students?
I would recommend this course to other students who are interested in general science but would like to specialise in an area they are particularly passionate about.
