We get students interested in and excited about what they are learning, help them to achieve their must-have qualifications and ultimately, make their dream careers a reality.
I started at the College on a Supported Learning course. This helped me to access Level 1 Media, Level 2 and 3 Games Design, and then HND Games Design. You won’t find a better experience than Northampton College when it comes to support - my teachers have really helped me develop my skills and progress from Supported Learning right up to achieving a degree. After a top up year at university, I would love to become a games producer or designer.

Since starting at Northampton College aged 16, I've moved up from Level 1 Acting to Level 3 Technical Theatre, and while I was a student, the College gave me so much help with my mental health. I've grown a lot as a person and I feel more capable and independent now. After completing my qualification, I secured a supported internship with The Royal and Derngate through MENCAP, and I now work full-time in the industry, thanks to the College and their support.
