"The Open Day provided so much in terms of the information that I needed to know and gave a picture of what fantastic opportunities it could offer. From the students’ work examples to the course content, and the examples of the former students onward paths: all added to a much greater understanding. The tour of the main building with it’s incredible facilities was done with such genuine enthusiasm, it was stunning."
