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."

Jessica Cornforth

"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."
