Lewis Leng
FdA Culinary Arts"I wanted to gain the qualifications that would be needed for a managerial position. I know this course isn’t offered widely, especially in the North East, so I wanted to take the opportunity to explore my passion for cooking through this degree."
Aleaha Wilford
FdA Fashion"The course has given me new and exciting opportunities. New York Chic contacted me to be an ambassador for them after I posted photographs of my garnets online. "
Yasmina Magdy
FdA Fashion and Retail"My course is very hands on and I have received great support from the tutors. The course is giving me the confidence to approach companies and get experience. I am able to use that experience as part of the course."
David Bell
BA (Hons) Photography"The biggest highlight of studying at the University Centre was when I was offered the job at the Handbag Clinic as an in house photographer. Without the course and everything that I’ve learnt while studying here, I wouldn’t have had that opportunity."
Courtney Munro

Sophie Ellis

Steph Thomas
