I’m studying Computing and being here gives you access to more help than in School. The teachers help a lot whenever you need them.

I have had some amazing experiences whilst at College, from taking part in work placements to holding a snake at the Freshers Fayre.

“I love all of the course. There are some aspects where it’s so much fun for me, but I really enjoy all of it.

I’m currently working on a project called the ‘Chaos’ project. For this, we had to look for chaotic photos, and then we went into detail analysing the images, thinking about how it’s chaotic and why it is.

Right now, we’re making posters about the different game consoles currently available, making them seem chaotic based on what we’ve been thinking about. I also have to make a website for this to go alongside, thinking of branding etc.”

“I’m definitely enjoying how creative I get to be.

We have to use lots of different sets of skills, like when we make websites.

I very much love how much I have learned to use the computers and how to edit different software.

At the beginning of the year, if you put me in front of Photoshop, I wouldn’t know what to do, and now I’m becoming an expert. I would 100% recommend the course.

As the course is so practical-based, you’ll always be doing something enjoyable and get to hands with the work.”
