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.
