Student Stories

Lola Kasumu-Croft

"The range of equipment that we get trained on is fantastic and allows for good preparation for the future because it's all industry standard. I love how we are encouraged to explore all the possible pathways in our courses"

Lola Kasumu-Croft - Current Sound Technology Student

Sam Roberts

"As you walk through the grand entrance at the front of the building it can seem very daunting. However, once you start talking to people and walking around the building it feels very welcoming and an environment that is best in class for collaborative, creative work"

Sam Roberts - Current Music Student

Bethany Scrace

"The teachers are all very knowledgeable about their courses and they have so much industry experience. They want the best for their students and push them to be their best selves"
