Ceramics is still a hobby for me but it would be good to make it my profession. Who wouldn’t want to make money doing something they love. Maybe one day.

The classes are great because they are designed for all ages and levels. And there’s the social side of things.

If you’re having problems, the lecturers are great at resolving them by helping you look at things in a different way.

The lecturers at City have been a great help and are easy to approach if you’re having problems.

Fiona Borthwick, 39Why Does my Pet...? Introduction to Animal Behaviour

“As a dog owner I’ve always been keen to learn as much as I can about dogs and animals, how best to look after them and why they do the things that they do.

The course sounded interesting and exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. In fact I learned quite a lot and it was a real eye-opener.

The lecturers were excellent and really helpful, and the course has given me a good understanding of animal behaviour and welfare – which will help me a lot when I study for the HNC in Animal Care”.
