Student Testimonials

What I learn in work I can bring back to College and vice versa, so it is a continual cycle of learning and you are building up your confidence all the time.

I love the biology but the best part of the course for me is the practical aspects. We get to handle all the animals plus there is work experience built into the course.

The course significantly reshaped my leadership style in both my hospitality business as well as in my property development and investment activities.

After this course I want to move into a different role in work – I currently work as a Quality Specialist, but I would like to become a Quality Engineer, so the course is helping me with all the relevant engineering skills I need.

The best things I’ve experienced since beginning the course are the relaxed, confidence building environment, the supportive teaching staff, the friendly atmosphere and the creche at Newcastle Campus, which is excellent

I never imagined how much I would enjoy doing the treatments and learning about beauty until I came to SERC

I think my favourite part of the course is the hands-on experience you get in the workshop; you learn a lot about practical skills and can put those practical skills to the test in class to become even better at them.

There’s a lot of doors that open for you on completion of the course; you can go into industry, carry out a master’s or PhD, or complete a graduate programme. I plan on going into work after I complete this course.

It’s the best decision of my life. I had been shutting off that side of myself but it’s like I have switched on a new element of my brain and it’s been a change for me, the way I see myself and how I think.
