Chase Maughan

Level 3 Renewable and Subsea Engineering

"When you study at college you get a lot more freedom as well as responsibility. Its more similar to real-life, because you aren’t going to have someone stood beside you telling you what you have to do. College really does prepare you for your future."

Niall Kendal

FdEng Subsea and Offshore Engineering

"Throughout my apprenticeship and studies, I've developed a great understanding of the industry, a strong knowledge base, and I get to put theory into practice while I'm offshore. I want to challenge myself to enter a management role in the Energy industry eventually, and I know my degree from Newcastle College University Centre will help me achieve that dream."
