Here’s something of interest to many of our leavers.  Edinburgh College is holding an open day for programmes in the creative industries.  It’s to be on Wednesday, 13 August, from 10 to 3.  Here’s a great chance to learn the way forward in music production, the performing arts, broadcasting, or art and design.

Edinburgh College has several campuses.  Find out which one to go to, for which field within creative industries, here.

Go along, meet the lecturers, and have an exciting time!
