Jessica, 15, from Stourbridge, visited the college to look at the wide range of A Level courses on offer. She is particularly interested in studying Art & Design at A Level alongside Psychology, Sociology and Business.
Jessica said: “I went along to the open day to look at Art & Design and all the staff were very helpful. The courses look great and I was able to get lots of information about the new Merry Hill Campus for Art & Design which will be opening next September in Brierley Hill. It was great to hear that I’d won the vouchers just in time for lots of Christmas shopping - I’m going to treat myself some new clothes for Christmas!”
Hayley Gennard, Events and Recruitment Officer at Stourbridge College, said: “All visitors to our Open Events were invited to fill in an evaluation questionnaire with a chance to win £100 Westfield vouchers. Our team works very closely with local schools in the area and I’m delighted that Jessica was the lucky winner.”
Stourbridge College’s next Open Event is on Saturday 29th January 2011, 10:00am – 1:00pm.
Our success rates have increased steadily over the past four years and we are currently in the top 25% of colleges nationally.
