Eddie described his time at Sunderland College as worthwhile, fun and reaffirming. He enjoyed performing at high profile venues throughout his course and is now studying at Sunderland University.
He said:
“I decided to study at Sunderland College as I was attracted by the staff and the opportunity to perform at major venues like the Sage. I liked the lecturers and the atmosphere, it was much more friendly and relaxed than other colleges I’d been to.
We were encouraged to be independent and play in a band. This independence has helped me in further study and work.”
Eddie has progressed to Sunderland University where he is studying BA (Hons) Music.
I joined Sunderland College to gain experience to enhance my career prospects, but I never imagined I’d have as many hands-on opportunities as I have.
Performance (Theatre, Voice and Movement)
I’ve had the best time at Sunderland College. There are so many opportunities to practically apply your learning. Through my time at the college I performed in the production of Evita at the Theatre Royal, which was a great opportunity and really brought out my confidence.

I chose to study the BTEC in Performing Arts as I wanted a creative route to studying. I really loved the practical approach the course offered, especially the workshops which gave a real insight into how the industry works for West End actors and dancers.
