There was no point in studying for 3 A-Levels I was never going to use. I achieved 8 As and 2 Bs in my GCSEs. The College was perfect for me because I wanted to specialise in Music Production, which I couldn't do at school.Dearbhla Duddy (Music Production)Creative Music Industry (Production) (Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma/ Extended Diploma) -
The traditional route of A-Levels just wasn’t for me. My years at NWRC were amazing, significantly shaping my creative journey. The facilities and lecturers are the best. I felt incredibly prepared to study Fashion Design at Ulster University.Aoife Harvey (Art & Design)
