Jessica Cornforth

Level 3 in Photography

"I struggled at school, but I worked hard especially in maths and English, I was so relieved to pass both subjects at GCSE. I chose to study at college as I don’t like exams and hands on learning was better for me."

Chloe Johnson

Level 1 in Digital Arts

"The tutors at the College are very open, honest and respectful. The college experience I have had has given me a different perspective on education. I am able to study my GCSEs here alongside my level 1 course access 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."
