#FindYourNew at New College Durham and #LetsGetYouThere – hear from our students below.
A-Levels (Biology, Psychology and Sociology)
“I was able to take control of my learning and this gave me some much-needed independence, I realise this even more now that I have started university!"
A-Levels (Law, Politics and History)
“New College offered the subjects I wanted to study and it was easy to get transport to the campus from where I lived. The campus was very nice and up to date which made it a nice place to study.
A-Levels (English Language and Classical Civilisation)
“I decided to study A-Levels at NCD because I didn’t want to study at my secondary school, I was ready for a new environment."
Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship Dental Nursing
“I could never have gone to university without my dental nursing experience, and without the support of my course tutor at NCD whilst I was training. I gained so much confidence and was always taught to pursue my dreams!"
Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship Information Communications Technician
“Throughout my two-year computing apprenticeship with New College, I received excellent support on my day release and with my employer, Durham County Council.
BA (Hons) Education & Training (Top-up)
“When I started studying I was also working 1-1 as a Teaching Assistant in a local primary school and being a mother of two children with a diagnosis of Autism.
A-Levels (Psychology, Criminology, Geography and English Language)
“There was certainly a more welcoming and respectful atmosphere towards students at NCD compared to school, not to mention that your course tutors are dedicated A-Level lecturers with expertise in their areas!"
BA (Hons) Social Work
“I felt wanted as a student on the social work degree, I liked the small class sizes and the team were available whenever I needed them"
