Finding your new means more than studying the perfect course – our students enjoy new experiences, gain new opportunities, make new friends, develop new skills, achieve new goals and build a new confidence in themselves!
#FindYourNew at New ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø Durham and #LetsGetYouThere – hear from our students below.
"I decided NCD was the place for me after a visit with my secondary school. I liked the idea of being treated as an adult and being able to gain my own independence in my studies."
“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!"
“New ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø 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.
“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 ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø, I received excellent support on my day release and with my employer, Durham County Council.
“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!"
