Student Case Studies

“I chose to study at New College because it had the right choice of courses for me, the lecturers were perfect, good social opportunities and all of the resources I was searching for. The Photography studio is brilliant. The Graphic Design Programmes and facilities worked amazing! The music studio was beyond useful, so inspiring. All of the facilities are fantastic and by using them, I have learnt so much.”

“When I had finished my Textiles course, I wanted to go to University but I really liked the teachers here so I decided to stay on. The teachers are really supportive and show you a clear path of where you’re going. My creativity has really expanded here.”

“The incredible staff and tutors at New College gave me guidance and direction, as well as encouraging my ambition to succeed; and now every day I have the incredible opportunity to work with actors, models, musicians, dancers and comedians. I was also awarded a place at the prestigious Central Saint Martins to study Menswear so that my skills can continue to develop and I can challenge myself further.” – Went on to be a Great British Sewing Bee contestant. Now a costume designer

“I would highly recommend the Product Design A Level. You get the opportunity to present original ideas and develop drawing skills, as well as taking part in group work and competitions. Once I started at university I felt well prepared, like I already had a great knowledge of the topics we were covering.” – studying for an architecture degree at Reading university

“The photography facilities and equipment are great – I love the studio. My teachers are so supportive and have helped me prepare for a career in the industry. I had the opportunity to show Robert Buckland MP our photography exhibition, which helped boost my confidence. I’ve really enjoyed my College experience, made a lot of friends and learned a lot.”
