NWRC helped prepare me for University. My science course led on to a degree in Dietetics and then a PhD. I am now a lecturer in Dietetics at Ulster University, Coleraine.Caomhan Logue -
I’ve always been interested in construction and architecture. My HND was the perfect stepping-stone to university. The knowledge I gained at NWRC helped me understand elements of my Degree course much more easily and I was able to complete my assignments to a higher standard.Eva McLaughlin
