Nick FisherCase Study : Nick Fisher

Having finished his education at Haven High in Boston, Nick came to college to study A Levels. Following an aspiration to work with Computers, and encouragement from family urged him to enrol on the BSc (Hons) Computer Systems Engineering course.

“The degree seemed the ideal route to take having always had an interest in computers, but did not really know where I wanted to go”.

“Although the course incorporates a range of elements allowing us to look at Networking, Web Development and hardware, it was Programming that I enjoyed the most”.

“Doing the degree at Boston College was ideal for me as it was close to home; I could save money and didn’t have to worry about accommodation costs. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone especially if you are not sure of an area you want to specialise in. The tutors are really supportive and are always available to help you.”
