Despite my technical career in electronics, I’ve always had an interest in creative and artistic endeavour. I had considered an art and design course many years ago but after speaking to a friend, she strongly recommended the course and the tutor, so I decided to apply!

The biggest highlight of my course was the complete change of perspective it gave me. What started as an interesting part-time study option has transformed my life. Thanks to Petroc – and a very understanding partner – I applied to university and am now one year into a BA degree in Fine Art at UWE Bristol.

What I most enjoyed about studying at Petroc was the brilliant encouraging atmosphere of the studio/classroom.

I’m a keen advocate for continuing education throughout life. If you have an interest in art and design, then whether as an end in itself or as a stepping stone to future opportunities, this course and Petroc, is a very good choice.
