Kieran, said: “It’s brilliant. My only regret is not getting on this MA programme sooner. Working with EDF ENS UK and studying at Forth Valley College makes it all worth it.”

Andrew, said: “The more I find out about what our role entails the more excited I get. I am looking forward to getting the head down and seeing how far I can go.

“I would definitely recommend the college and EDF ENS UK to anyone thinking about doing an MA.”
