I chose The Henley College because I wanted a change from school and so I could be independent with my studies. I wanted to study Creative Media Production because my strengths and passions at school were in Drama, English and Computer Science. I am now going to be studying Film Production at the University of Gloucestershire
The Creative Media course is so unique and you can tailor it to whatever you want to do whether it is editing, filming, specialising in sound and so much more. There was never a day that I wouldn’t want to go into college because every lesson was so engaging and there would always be something to look forward to. I would go home feeling inspired about what I had been doing during the day and I would find myself researching more in my own time. I’ve never been as motivated and inspired to succeed."
