What made you pick this particular course?
I had a set plan in my head on how to reach the point in my career and my lecturer gave me advice on the course and how to apply.

What do you most enjoy about studying at Petroc?
I have most enjoyed my lecturers as they have mentored and helped me reach my potential. Also how much they have helped not just as lecturers but with issues I had that didn’t relate to college work.

Did you undertake any work experience throughout your studies?
I am currently an apprentice at Peregrine Mears Architects, and I discovered them through my lecturer at Petroc. I have enjoyed every minute of working there and my colleagues have been incredibly supportive of my studies, helping me get the best out of the experience

What do you plan to do when you leave Petroc?
I plan to continue my studies at Petroc.

Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course as you?
If it’s something that you are considering, then I would definitely say to give it a go. Keep up with course work as it can be difficult to catch up but it is a very enjoyable course that teaches you new skills. It also allows you to meet others within the construction industry and find out more about their roles.
