More from Lucy...

I have particularly enjoyed the independence Brock has given me as an open college. It is much less like school than other further education learning options.

Among my best experiences were a trip to Iceland and a trip to CERN in Switzerland with my Physics class.

I also really loved the development processes in my Textiles classes. Our teacher was always there to offer us support if we needed it, but also encouraged us to go in our own directions.

During my studies I completed work experience at my dad’s factory - Fareham Elta Fans. This was very interesting and helped me understand how important physics is to success in that industry.

My ultimate aim is to become a chartered engineer. I found the College’s Progression Day very useful because I was able to talk to representatives of universities where I was interested in studying.
