    I never had an easy time at school, but since being here at the College I’ve never felt more supported or valued. It really is an amazing place.

    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.
