Success stories
“I’d recommend BCA to anyone who wants to join, as Applied Science is very generalised so you can go into a multitude of different university courses, as well as apprenticeships. The tutors here are brilliant. They’ll help you choose what you want to do, even if you’re not quite sure when you get here, and you get a very hands-on learning experience”
