HNC in Applied Sciences
School College Partnership
I always had a passion for science but when I left school I began working in customer service , sales and retail , putting my dream of working in science on the back burner .
When I moved back to Fife from Glasgow , a push from a friend led me to applying to the NC Applied Science course , beginning a path I ’ d started 15 years previously .
“ I ’ d recommend this course but most particularly its faculty to anyone , regardless of age or past experience , who wants to start their own journey in science .”
This led to an HNC , and then I secured a Modern Apprenticeship , as a lab technician ! So before I had even finished the HNC I was able to demonstrate the skills necessary for the role I was aiming to achieve . This wouldn ’ t have been possible without support from tutors , head of departments and peers at Fife College .
My ambition for the future is to learn everything I can while in this very lucky position and take the knowledge gained to overachieve my expectations of what ’ s possible .
