“Over the last three years, the Architecture course has introduced me to new ways of thinking, understanding, and creating. The one-on-one tutorials with tutors are fantastic. The tutors provided continuous support throughout my studies, as well as on my placement year. I’m looking forward to going back to complete my Master’s Degree at Ulster University. ”
