    Caitlin Orridge

    BA (Hons) Photography

    "The sheer breadth of knowledge and experienced I've gained from studying at Newcastle College University Centre is phenomenal. Our lecturers and guest speakers bring years of distinct experience in the photography industry, ranging from still life to fashion to more commercial photography - I've used all of that transferable knowledge to enrich my work. The creative freedom this course offers has helped me to explore every area of the photography industry and decide where I'd like to develop my own career in the future."

I've developed important professional skills, and learnt from tutors whose current industry knowledge means they are never out-of-touch - which has been fantastic in helping me secure employment."
