Mahamat Nour
Engineering Student
I started with ESOL two years ago, before I joined Engineering. Since the beginning, I have had a lot of support from the college. Engineering is my dream, and I now have a conditional offer from Liverpool John Moores University for Mechanical Engineering. I would recommend Wirral Met to my friends.
