Students across Fareham College, Southampton College and Eastleigh College have been receiving their Level 3 results today, with many dreams realised on what has been a memorable day.
Over 1300 students received their results today, including those on full-time, part-time, and T Level courses.
One of our students celebrating today is Natalia, who received a Distinction grade in her Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. This result has enabled her to progress to study Architecture at the University of Portsmouth.
Natalia commented: “I previously studied A Levels, but this course was very different – I was able to try lots of creative mediums and build a portfolio in what I loved, particularly 3D modelling and photography. With my grades before, I couldn’t get into my chosen university course and wasn’t sure if it was right for me. Now I’m confident in my skills again and starting my dream course in September.”
Macey, a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care student, undertook several work placements during her course, including one at the Princess Anne Hospital, through South Hampshire College Group’s partnership with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. She has now secured a full-time Maternity Support Worker position at the hospital and has a Midwife Apprenticeship in her sights for the future as well.
Macey said: “I’ve wanted to be a midwife from a young age, and this course has been amazing to help me gain the skills I need. These placements really helped me build my confidence and communication skills with a range of different people. I also got to witness childbirths which was just incredible.”
William has successfully completed his T Level in Digital Production, Software Design & Development and is now progressing to the University of Winchester to study a Degree in Software Engineering.
William commented: “I’m really happy with my results and that they will allow me to go to my first-choice university to study Software Engineering.”
“I liked that the T Level included independent projects, which gave me confidence and allowed me to work on what I enjoyed. For me, I loved exploring all aspects of coding and programming. It inspired me to choose software engineering as a career.”
“For my work placement, I went to Yandiya Technologies, who supply infrared heating panels. We designed and created an app for their technicians to use to streamline their work. This was the best part of the course – I really enjoyed it.”
T Level Accounting student, Amaan Uddin, achieved a Distinction grade and has already secured work as a Trainee Accountant at TML Accounting.
Talking about his experience, Amaan said: “The T Level in Accounting was a great introduction into work and to secure a full-time job at the end was fantastic. I chose T Levels because of the placement, it meant I could put everything I’d learnt into practice and really experience work. My lecturer has been amazing and really supportive.”
Andrew Kaye, CEO of South Hampshire College Group, commented: “I would like to congratulate all our students who have received their results today upon the completion of their qualifications. Our first year as a merged college group has been a memorable one and it has been fantastic to hear so many positive experiences from our students. We wish them all the very best of luck in their next steps and future endeavors.”
