Meet our student ambassador

Isaac

Hi, my name is Isaac, and I am currently in my second year of Music Performance in Norwich. This college and the creative courses are amazing for many reasons, but the thing that stood out to me was the college’s support with extra-curricular events such as gigs. Through their help, I now know how to make a small income in my spare time through performing music, which will, in a few years, turn into a full-time job.
