Former EDC Student Profile
East Durham College’s Houghall campus is absolutely gorgeous; it has great outdoor spaces that really suited to the course. The course itself was extremely interesting and I really enjoyed all of the modules. It was really well taught and doing all the practical work really helped me gain an understanding of a wide range of conservation methods and activities.
