There is so much opportunity on this course – you can go and do a placement anywhere and get a feel for the area. I’ve a better understanding of what I’m studying because I’ve been there and done it.
The college is so accessible with it being in the centre of town, which made studying here really appealing. I heard good things about the reputation of the college and the support you receive and it just seemed right for me. Being able to undertake a placement has been my favourite aspect of college.
