BUILD YOUR

FUTURE Coatbridge Campus

“

The lecturers are good at helping if you’re stuck at anything or unsure of what to do.

They explain everything really well and they’re really supportive.

They train you to become a professional and prepare you to go out into industry.

It’s a really friendly atmosphere – this is my second year at New College Lanarkshire, and you get to know your classmates and you build a relationship with them.

There’s a high level of education at the College – the equipment and technology that we use are really good.

NCL has really changed my life.

I came to this college as a mature student and was extremely anxious and nervous, however the staff here instantly put me at ease.

The facilities at the College are also fantastic and keep getting bigger and better.

I feel I am going out into industry as a wellrounded professional who is fully equipped for my chosen career and I am looking forward to what my future holds, which I couldn’t have done without the teaching, support and facilities at NCL. We are being taught by well-seasoned professionals who have or still work in industry that not only teach us but give us a useful insight into what it’s like working in the ‘real world’.

I couldn’t recommend NCL highly enough.

“

During my time studying at NCL, the College has become a home away from home for me.

The lecturers and support staff are always so approachable and helped me achieve my goals despite having difficulties with my health.

I would encourage anyone, no matter their circumstances, to go to college and further their education. Even for someone leaving school, take a year to study the HNC and gain a better understanding of the course before continuing onto university to ensure it’s the right choice for you!”

If you are thinking about applying to NCL I would say definitely go for it! The music department in particular is exceptional.

The course is perfect for school leavers who want to develop their musical talents, as well as already established musicians who want to brush up on their musicianship and learn new skills.

The curriculum is excellent and sets you up perfectly for a career in the music industry as it all has a real world purpose and meaning. The staff are also extremely helpful. Their expertise and knowledge has been invaluable.

I’ve loved spending the academic year practising and learning songs and then seeing all the hard work and graft showcased at the end-of-year gig. It is quite a sight to see and also be a part of.

NCL is the place to learn new skills and meet new friends.

It’s a great place to start your journey and build your confidence and independence.

I love how the staff are supportive to the students and help everyone towards a positive outcome.

My highlights have been winning awards including 2nd place in the ‘What’s the Big Idea?’ competition and winning a Celebration of Learning Award in the Developing the Young Workforce category.

The staff really believe in the students and that we can achieve what we want in life.

I like that I can study at New College Lanarkshire and be on a pathway to getting a degree, which will give me better opportunities and help me to achieve my goal of becoming an events organiser.

My lecturers are very good and very approachable – and the ICT equipment helps me a lot.

I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed accounting and I really look forward to coming to College.

I like the environment at NCL. ERIN IZE NQ BUSINESS, ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING
