    Everything the Music departament at NWRC had on offered sounded appealing and was the obvious next step for me after my GCSEs.

    My course allowed me to work on real-life projects. My favourite was the redesign of the Strand Road campus estate, as part of the Project Based Learning Awards. My group’s work was selected as one of the winning projects!
