Mason & Katrina, Computing with Digital Media students

Graham, Computing and Digital Media Lecturer
“Our students can pursue a variety of roles, depending on the pathway that they take. We have had students take up position as software developers, software testers, web designers, database administrators, network managers etc. However, the industry is constantly changing and at present more students are considering careers in games development or cybersecurity.”

David, HND Computer Science
“The highlight of studying at the college is meeting new people who share the same interests as me.”

Andrew French
"I have been running my own business for over 8 years and studying the Interactive Media degree meant I could carry on working while studying. I knew that I wanted to be involved in the creative industries and the course assisted me in adapting to the real world, learning new skills and developing existing ones."

Megan, Computing and Digital Media
"After passing the school programme course and leaving school I applied to do NC Computing with Digital Media SCQF Level 6. The jump wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be, since I already had been to college it was easy to settle in. Even if you’re nervous and shy to try new things. It will be the best experience!”

Philip, BSc (Hons) Interactive Media
“I returned to education after serving in the Royal Air Force as the Interactive Media course catered to both my artistic and technical interests with a nice balance of practical to theory based learning.”

David, Computing Digital Media
“My goal is to become a Sound Designer in the gaming industry as I have found a passion for games and audio through doing the computing with digital media courses.”

Nicole, NC Computing with Digital Media
"I am so glad I took the plunge to leave my full time job to study full time at college. My class mates are great and the lecturers are approachable and will do everything they can to support and help you. I have really enjoyed learning new skills especially the Applications Development and can’t wait to progress onto the HNC."
