    I now have the opportunity to progress to University and achieve my chosen degree in only two years due to the preparation I received here at NWRC.

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