What our students say
“NTU gave me a great base to start my career in computing. I developed good relationships with my tutors which helped get the best out of my ability. After completing my degree I had a good range of skills and many avenues that I could have gone down.

“In the end I went on to study a Masters in Computer Science and then founded CovertCandy.co.uk which is an online clothing exchange community and a completely new way of trading clothes.”
