Kevin Howell

HNC Information Technology (Part-Time)

"I chose Newcastle College because it offered exactly what I needed at the time: part-time, flexible study while I worked full-time. The College had the best technology facilities in the region when I joined in 1992, and the IT course was directly aligned with what employers were looking for."

As an international student, my experience at Newcastle College University Centre has been enriching and fulfilling. Everyone I’ve met at the University Centre, staff and student, have been welcoming and supportive, providing any resources and assistance I needed to help me adjust to life in the UK and thrive academically.

"Having industry-experienced tutors available to encourage you to be a well-rounded employee and work in industry, is also a massive advantage to studying at Newcastle College University Centre."

Murray Lambert

Programme Lead - Computing

"I enjoy delivering technical modules with a practical outcome. I get to use my experience working on industry projects to help students develop their skills in 3D modelling, texturing and animation. It's very rewarding to see students bring their own ideas to life, from a simple concept all the way to a character they can move around in a game."
