The wait is finally over…the results are in…and there were plenty of smiles as City of Westminster students nervously opened their envelopes.
So, was the nail-biting wait worth it? Well judging by the positive vibes from the CWC pupils, the future certainly looks like a bright one.
Mitra Kantharuban was thrilled after gaining a Distinction in his Level 3 Creative Media and said: “A memorable moment for me at CWC would be when I was taught camera editing techniques. These skills are crucial in media production. Having this knowledge will allow me to apply these skills in the media industry".
So, what’s next for Mitra? "I plan to head to SAE Institute to study Digital Film for two years alongside developing my marketing skills,” he revealed.
Another delighted student was Serena Mullings who received a Distinction in her Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing and Production Arts. She said: “Over these amazing two years I’ve learned that I am very motivated, and career driven as I was able to juggle college, course work, jobs, training, and social time. One thing about this course, that I will take on for the rest of my life, is to find my independence and to make opportunities myself, which I believe I did.”
Health and Social Care student Ewurafua Ogoe is heading to Nottingham Trent University to study BSc Hons Mental Health Nursing and said: “I had a great time and will miss my teachers; they built a great relationship with us.”
While Alexandra Erly Wernersbach Stein also praised her teachers as she moves on to study a BSc in Psychology at Birkbeck University of London following her Access to Higher Education (Social Sciences) course.
