Visual Merchandising & Promotional Design - BA (Hons) Top up
"What I love about the course is the working environment you get being in the studio space. The staff and students are all really nice and there is always someone willing to help you, whether it be a student or a tutor."
Tom Rothwell's story
“I feel that being at the University Centre has done much more for me than just provide an education. It has been character building, improving my confidence and my employability.”
Tom studied Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Design/3D Design at Hugh Baird College and progressed to a University of Central Lancashire validated Foundation Degree programme at the Hugh Baird University Centre. After successful completion, he enrolled for one further year on the BA (Hons) Top up in Visual Merchandising and Promotional Design.
