Students celebrate outside NWRC as they collect their examination results.
Northern Ireland’s Minister for the Economy Dr Caoimhe Archibald has spent the morning at North West Regional College’s Strand Road campus celebrating with students receiving their exam results.
During the visit, Dr Archibald met with students who have just completed BTEC Level 3 qualifications at NWRC, Higher Education students, part time students, and alumni of the college who have gone on to graduate.
The Minister also met with the college’s senior management team to discuss the upcoming academic year and the introduction of new further and higher education courses at NWRC.
The Minister said: “I was delighted to be able to visit the North West Regional College to speak with, and congratulate students and staff on such an important day. It was encouraging to hear about the variety of courses available at NWRC and I would encourage students hoping to pursue their academic studies or begin a skills based or vocational career to speak to NWRC advisors about the options available. I wish everyone my very best wishes for their future studies.”
NWRC students celebrate their BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma examination results with the Minister for the Economy Dr. Caoimhe Archibald.
Leo Murphy, Principal and Chief Executive of NWRC, said: “The Minister received a warm welcome at NWRC today during an important event celebrating the achievements of our students.
“Our Level 3 Extended Diploma students have just completed examinations equivalent to three A-Levels. Some of these students will be staying on to pursue Higher Education courses at NWRC, while others are progressing to university.
“It’s been a hugely successful year at NWRC. Students who choose the college after GCSEs or A-Levels do so because of our longstanding reputation for preparing learners for the world of work. Our vocational courses offer a unique blend of academic study and real-world experience through work placements, giving students the opportunity to develop essential skills for their careers.
Leo Murphy, principal and chief executive of NWRC, congratulates BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma students with Louise Watson, Department for the Economy.
“Keeping up with industry trends, NWRC has expanded its already extensive portfolio of courses to include qualifications in Cyber Security, Higher-Level Apprenticeships, and Gaming, Animation, and VFX Skills.
“NWRC is proud to offer a diverse, inclusive, and safe environment for learning, with a wide range of staff available to provide help and support. We send our best wishes to all students receiving their examination results and look forward to welcoming our new cohort in September.”
