Rebecca Staples, HNC Forestry

Rebecca wants to work in managing forestry as a sustainable resource and to improve the natural environment.

"I chose SRUC because I wanted to study Forestry and had heard good things from former students My favourite module was Silviculture and Woodland Establishment, and a particular highlight was learning loads about forestry that I was unaware of before I started and getting into a job that I love "

"I found it quite hard to begin with as I was a mature student Fortunately, I was well supported by my lecturers and fellow students throughout and learned lots of useful skills along the way that have helped me in my current job "

"The facilities were really good, I used to come and sit in the Library or Café and do a lot of my course work with some of the guys on my course "

"I am really happy that I completed the HNC as it has provided me with the skills and knowledge I needed to get started in my career in woodland management and regulation I thought the lecturers were fantastic I really appreciated when they helped me through the parts of the course I found difficult."
