George Vincent

Level 3 Applied Science

A lot of my tutors are from industry, which gives me a lot of insights into what the science industry is like and what kinds of jobs I can do afterwards. I’d love to study microbiology or genetic research for my career, it’s absolutely an interesting field to work in!

Laboratory Scientist Degree Apprenticeship

"Newcastle College was one of the few providers that offered in person lectures / day release. I really benefit from being able to come onto campus to be taught in person. Additionally, it’s nice to spend one day a week with other likeminded apprentices, you’re all taking similar journeys and it’s nice to have that support network."
