Nicole King
HND in Quantity Surveying
I left school at the end of fifth year to do my HND at Fife College . In my second year , I was given the opportunity to go to London to visit some of the most well-known pieces of architecture in the country which was a great experience that has continued to motivate me in my career .
After completing my HND I went straight into third year of the degree course at Napier University , which has resulted in me being a year ahead of most people .
I was also hired by Whiteburn Projects Ltd in Edinburgh as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor and combine this with studying my degree .

“ The course at Fife College gave me a great insight into the construction industry and it had some amazing lecturers who explained all the different elements of the role .”
