Lilly Houston • Humanities and Social Science studentThe course and tutors allowed me to gain a better understanding of what I wanted to do at university and later in life and the skills and knowledge I gained in these classes have been transferable into my studies and also my work. The College were really helpful throughout my studies and since leaving and I feel like you wouldn’t get the same support from other colleges.
