Why did you choose to study at Broadwood Campus?
Being from Cumbernauld originally, I knew the location well and I knew that the venue has a great range of facilities that would help me further my education. I also read reviews online from previous students about the level of teaching and found that it was very high and the lecturers were very welcoming and knowledgeable.
