Carrie Sterland
Design BA (Hons)
“I completed a Foundation Degree at ncn and really enjoyed it. I was impressed by the tutors I’d worked
with and the level of support I’d received. It made sense (particularly financially) to carry on my studies to achieve a BA (Hons)
in just one year, especially as it would be validated by Nottingham Trent University.
“I gained experience and confidence in myself and my design work. The College promotes a creative
environment in which you can explore ideas and not be scared of making mistakes.
“I enjoyed the emphasis on drawing. The tutors were very encouraging and I enjoyed speaking
to them about my work, and I believe my growth had a lot to do
with their support, knowledge and love of art and design. The contemporary issues module was
also inspiring and up to date.I explored the issues facing me as a designer of the future; it was the first time political and social ideas have shaped my work.”
