Harriett Banham
Level 3 Games Design
“I really enjoy my course, the way it's structured suits me way better than GCSEs did. I think for anyone who enjoys doing more hands-on work it's really good. The College has great facilities to do the work and it's always open outside of lesson time if you don't have the right equipment at home, so there's definitely enough there for you to access and to be able to complete your work.”
Kiera Goddard
Graphic Design Level 3 Diploma/Extended Diploma Full-time
“The most enjoyable elements of the course are the wide range of projects we are given as this allows us to explore different areas of the subject. I also enjoy the creative freedom we have, which allows us to develop our skills in areas we are drawn to. In the future I’d like to be a freelancer and possibly own my own graphic design business.”
