BA (Hons) Interior and Spatial Design
I chose the course because it embodied a lot of my creative interests. I really enjoyed studying at UCSE, I learnt so much and because the class size was small we had access to one-to-one tutoring.
BA (Hons) Costume Construction
My tutors were lovely and very knowledgeable and it was a privilege to have access to the resources of the Royal Opera and Ballet.
BA (Hons) Photography
The course was very hands-on and interactive and I feel that it has prepared me for my future career. It definitely gave me more skills and, because we were taught how to use both analogue and digital equipment, it broadened my horizons.
USCE's BA (Hons) Creative Media and Promotion
I feel incredibly proud. After dropping out two years earlier, walking across the stage and receiving a special award was surreal. It's a moment I'll keep with me forever.
Education and Early years T Level
My advice to anyone considering a T Level in Early Years would be to work hard, stay dedicated and actively participate in lessons. Getting to know your classmates can also make the experience more enjoyable, fun and exciting. When it comes to placement, I would recommend building positive relationships with both the staff and children, as this can help you feel more comfortable, reduce stress and make the overall experience much more rewarding.
T Level Digital Support and Security, Level 2 Diploma in Digital and IT Skills
If you’re a student thinking about applying for this T-Level, honestly, just do it. The course gives you a really solid mix of hands-on tech skills and actual industry experience and the tutors are so supportive, they push you to step out of your comfort zone and go for big opportunities like WorldSkills.
AAT Level 2 apprenticeship, AAT Level 3 apprenticeship
I never expected that starting as an administrator would lead me towards a career in accounting. Being given the opportunity to study AAT Level 2 has completely changed my career path.
UAL Level 2 Award and Diploma in Performing and Production Arts (Acting)
This college has given me the confidence, support, and inspiration I was missing before, and it’s helped me realise that my future could be bigger than I ever imagined whether that’s acting, directing, or something I haven’t discovered yet. I’m genuinely excited to continue my journey here next academic year and see how much more I can grow, learn, and achieve.
