Ben described his time at Sunderland College as supportive and professional. After completing his A-levels, Ben moved onto Northumbria University to study a BA (Hons) in Geography.
He said:
“The professionalism of the staff and their commitment to students was second to none, lecturers provided bespoke advice and guidance and there is a diverse range of subjects to choose from.
Tutors supported students with all aspects of the UCAS application which was extremely beneficial!
