What made you pick this particular course/Petroc?
A balance of college and work placement felt like a good fit, especially as coding and design is something I enjoy.

What do you most enjoy about studying at Petroc?
Being able to use the equipment, like the 360 degree cameras and VR headsets.

Did you do work experience?
I have to complete 315 hours of placement at BlackBeam Cinematic, which has allowed me to learn a lot of different sides of the computing industry, as well as the workplace. Thus has given me an idea of what I would be doing in my future career.

What do you want to do after Petroc?
Potentially university or an apprenticeship.

Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course?
It is a great idea if you are sure of the industry you want to work in because it is very direct. It also gives you a lot of work place experience, which is great for experience!
