Student Profile

Emily Barfield
Fashion Interpretation and Practice Foundation Degree

Emily came to ncn straight from studying 'A' Levels at sixth form.

"When I joined this course I was nervous as I had never done anything like this before. But I've had some great support; it's enabled me to improve my practical skills with ambition rather than being frightened of tackling challenging projects.

"I'm relatively new to fashion, but I've learnt so much already. Eventually I'd like to set up my own bridalwear business.

"If you want to study at university level, but are put off by the debt or feel you are under-skilled or lack confidence, you should definitely apply to ncn - you're given so much support."
