HND Performing Arts Course Helps Passions Grow for Rowan

Rowan Magee (20), from Bangor came to SERC to study an HND in Performing Arts following his A-Levels, and his time on the course is proving valuable in the development and expansion of his skill set.

Speaking about how his time on the course has benefited him, Rowan said; “I came to SERC with a bit of acting experience and not much knowledge of other areas. The course has provided me with the opportunity to programme, to rig shows and overall, to just improve my skillset in areas that I wasn't area of in the first place, which was something I liked."

“You get a lot more freedom here compared to school. If you enrol on SERC’s Performing Arts course, you will have the opportunity to control what you make, for example myself and my class mates just made a 35-minute show from scratch based on what we wanted to do, and last year we did a 15-minute show which was brilliant.”

Rowan said he would recommend SERC to others; “I would tell potential students to definitely consider this course. Even if you don’t have that much experience, because when you study at SERC you will learn lots."

“All the tutors are great but what you’ll find in SERC that you don’t find in school is that you will be a lot closer with the tutors. They don’t treat you like just a student; they are like mates in a way, and you can talk to them if you have any problems. They go above and beyond for you which is really nice.”
