I really enjoyed the wide variety of units on my course, and I was very pleased with my results. Studying the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma at Stanmore College gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to progress confidently to university. I went on to study a degree in Pharmaceutical Science at Middlesex University, and I was well prepared for this, thanks to the support and learning I received at Stanmore College.
