Progression to higher education has been particularly strong this year, with students securing places at a wide range of institutions. These include some of the UK’s top 10 ranked and Russell Group universities such as King’s College London, Durham University and Loughborough University. Many students have also chosen to remain closer to home, progressing to regional universities including Anglia Ruskin University, University of Essex, University of Hertfordshire, University of East Anglia (UEA) and Norwich University of the Arts. Others are studying further afield at institutions such as the University of Brighton, University of Sheffield and Cardiff University.  

Equally, a strong number of students have chosen to progress to Higher National Diplomas and Higher Technical Qualifications at CRC, furthering their skills and qualifications in areas including Architecture and the Built Environment, Business, Construction Management, Engineering, Music and Sport.   

Corrin Hoyes, Deputy Principal – Quality and Student Service, said: 

“This year’s Level 3 results are a powerful reminder that education truly transforms lives. Each success reflects years of hard work from our students and the unwavering support of our staff.

With a 96% overall pass rate and many of our student securing their university places, there is so much to celebrate.

I am proud of our students’ achievements and excited to see the great careers and bright futures they are now stepping into. Congratulations to you all.”

Joseph, who studied the UAL Level 3 Diploma in Music Performance & Production at CRC, achieved a Distinction and will now progress to higher education. He said:

“The course has helped me believe in myself, grow as a musician and be more creative. My tutors have been very supportive and really believed in me and guided me throughout my course in order to succeed. I would definitely recommend my course, you learn so much about yourself as an artist and about music production and performance.”

With strong results and growing demand for vocational, technical, and apprenticeship pathways, CRC is preparing to welcome new and returning students in September. To support applicants and those still considering their next steps, the College will host Advice Cafés at both its Cambridge and Huntingdon campuses this and next week as students start enrolling on to courses.
