The business course is very versatile so it can help with lots of job options after college. My dream career is something in finance, maybe a Chartered Accountant, so everything I’m learning now on my course about Business will help me to reach that goal.

I've always wanted to do hair and this is the best opportunity to learn so why not take it. Working in a real salon on campus changes the way you go about your job. I love doing foils and highlights and these techniques will set me up well for the future.

The most useful thing that I've learnt is being able to improve my skills with cooking. I've done so many dishes from savoury to dessert for our own restaurant at college where the public can come in. It's great being around lecturers as they're nice and have all worked in industry.
