Level 5 at B&FC

I looked a different courses but realised I needed to start from scratch with my GCSEs to build the right entry qualifications. Going to B&FC meant I could study all the qualifications I needed in one place. It just made sense."

The enthusiasm of the staff is infectious. The facilities and equipment here are in a class of their own, giving me hands-on experience with the kit I will go on to use in industry."

Access to fantastic facilities and resources like the Learning Resource Centre means that I can get all the information I need quickly and easily."

I chose B&FC as I had previously studied an art course here and felt comfortable when being interviewed by Ang, she made me feel very welcomed and helped ease my nerves."

The tutors have been amazing - every one of them took the time to tell how I could improve so I've graduated with a first-class honours having started off with a predictive grade of a 2:2."

A supportive environment with interesting, topical content. HELMs (Higher Education Learning Mentors), Financial support and the option of emotional support if I ever need it."

I chose B&FC as I had heard lots of good things about studying here and positive feedback."

There have been lots of benefits but the main one has been how much my confidence has improved and I'd put that down to the fantastic support I've received here."

The tutors make it really relevant and interesting as they know their subjects inside and out. The tutors really made it for me."

It's great being taught by people with experience in the industry and I like the flexibility which is embedded in the course structure. I can fit my life around my course and vice versa."

The tutors are really supportive and the smaller class sizes have made such a difference. Everyone gets more one-to-one time which I know wouldn't be the case if I'd gone elsewhere."

I didn't feel the need to go away to university and the course here was equivalent to any I could have done elsewhere. Having the degree awarded by Lancaster University makes a difference too."

The facilities are great but the support of the tutors has been second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for them - it was amazing."

I did my undergraduate degree here and found it to be a really supportive place. The tutors are outstanding and because I'm dyslexic, they went out of their way to help me."
