Graeme Allan - Built Environment with Specialisms - HND Quantity Surveying

I spent a number of years working as a chef when I left school. However gradually the long hours became draining and I realised it wasn’t for me.

I had always been good with money and numbers, so after speaking with my local careers office and researching different courses I chose Quantity Surveying. The salaries are very good in this field and the course at The Met provided the option to progress to University - this was a huge benefit as I didn’t have the required qualifications to go straight to University. With the support of the college I have now applied to three

Universities to undertake the degree programme and hope to enter in my 3rd year.

I’ve really enjoyed my course. The first year provided a good general introduction to the industry before specialising in Quantity Surveying. Part of the course also included site visits which is a good way of putting the drawings and notes into practice.

I’ve really enjoyed my course at the Met and look forward to starting University in the autumn. I definitely made the right decision with this course.

Cameron KingHNC Creative Industries: Radio

I’ve been involved in radio for a while and wanted to improve my skills so I started looking around for a course that would help me do that.

A friend at the community radio station where I volunteer suggested the Met and I managed to get a course place not long after leaving school.

The course has been great and is continually leading to new opportunities. At the moment I’m

involved in presenting two shows at the college – one a chart rundown and the other featuring unsigned acts from around Glasgow.

Music is my biggest passion so you could say it would be a dream to go on and have a career in radio; however my aim at the moment is achieving my HNC. I’ve been accepted to study for a degree in Broadcast Production at the University of the West of Scotland so that will be the next step for me.

In the meantime, I’m keen to make the most of my college studies by building on the practical experience I’ve gained.

In addition to my shows at Glasgow Met Radio I also volunteer at Camglen community radio station in the south of Glasgow and previously covered the overnight shift on L107 Radio in Hamilton. It’s all great experience and I hope it will provide a strong foundation to develop my radio career.

Kevin ByrneHND Photography

Thanks to the Met I’ve landed my dream job as a professional photographer. For me it’s up there with being a footballer or rock star.

I loved the course and would, if possible, have spent every minute taking photos in the studio or developing them in the darkroom. The HND course covered all types of photography and introduced me to some amazing snappers. Being a mature student at 31, I found it easier to socialise and make new friends.

Through the college I was given a chance to assist award-winning photographer Simon Norfolk in London. It was an amazing experience and I got to shoot for the Daily

Telegraph newspaper and help Simon set up and open his latest exhibition. The chance to work in London was undoubtedly the highlight of my two years’ training.

From there I went on to receive a merit award at the Association of Photographers Student Awards and was lucky enough to have some of my images published in the British Journal of Photography.

I live and work in Holland now but enjoyed a brief stint in press photography shortly after graduating.

I decided to go freelance after the press work finished and was fortunate to pick up some good, long-term

clients in the advertising industry.

After three years’ self employment I was offered a job with Peek Reclame Fotografen in Breda where I’ve been since. My work is advertising based, focussing on images of fine food, fashion, packaging, beer and computer generated. A typical day could see me snapping the hottest gadget on the market, photographing a box of cereal or getting shots of the latest star to sign for Ajax.

I’ve put a lot of effort into getting where I am – and the work can be difficult with long hours and fussy clients. But the rewards lie in the people you meet and the experience you gain. Like I said, it’s a dream job.

Hayley RobertsonHND Graphic Design

I enjoyed my time at Glasgow Met and it opened a lot of doors for me including the chance to work at one of Scotland’s biggest advertising agencies.

It was also the perfect stepping stone to higher education, helping me land a place on a Digital Art Degree at the University of the West of Scotland in Ayr after I graduated.

I owe a big part of my success to the lecturers at the Met and I’d certainly recommend the course to others.

In my final year I won a competition to create an eye-catching advert for Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers. The prize was £250 and two weeks’ work experience at ad agency Levy McCallum’s studio. My design which featured the the slogan, ‘Almost Actual Size!’ above two giant Caramel Wafers was then displayed to motorists and pedestrians on Crow Road in Glasgow. My inspiration for the ad came from the fact that the biscuit has stayed the same size for over 50 years while others have shrunk.

It was an amazing feeling to win but to have my work up for all to see was overwhelming.

Michelle KavanaghHND Modelmaking

The course brings a sense of achievement I haven’t found anywhere else.I’ve always wanted a career that’s challenging but allows me to be creative – and I believe the HND is the perfect stepping stone to achieving that.

I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of making models and it’s extremely rewarding to complete one, even if I’m not 100 per cent happy with how it turned out. That’s part of the fun.

I enjoy the experimental elements of the course, where I’m required to use tools and materials I’ve never worked with before.

Hopefully the course will lead me to a career in animation or related area if I graduate next year but any job that allows me to use the skills I’ve learned would be great.

At the moment, though, I just want to

enjoy my time at the Met. The course is much better than I expected. We’re shown lots of different things and encouraged to apply our own stamp. We’re encouraged to solve problems ourselves but the tutors are there to offer support and advice when we need it. With their help things that seemed scary or out of reach before are much more manageable.

So far I’ve had some great experiences but the highlight was designing a prop for theatre. I made a

mask based on a character from the movie Pan’s Labyrinth.

I was also shortlisted in the Metro newspaper Re-Create competition and created a Celtic knot-shaped stool using copies of the paper.

The design studios at the college are good and we’re given a range of equipment and materials, while the tutors are open to suggestions if you want to try something different.

Fraser Meechan -Professional Cookery

The most memorable experience from my time at the Met was helping cook dinner for Jack McConnell when he was Scotland’s First Minister. Afterwards my class and I got our pictures taken with him and he later wrote to the college saying how much he enjoyed the food. Customer feedback like that makes the job so rewarding.The college taught me leadership skills and how to deal with different types of people, which has been invaluable in my career.

I’m head chef at the Millennium Hotel on Glasgow’s George Square, where I’m responsible for a number of things like the menu, staff management, stock control and food costing. The hotel is extremely busy

and the kitchen serves a lounge, bar, restaurant and a number of conference rooms – not to mention the guest bedrooms.

I combined my college studies with a job at city centre restaurant Rogano. The hands-on experience was crucial and one of the reasons I won Young Student Chef of the Year and reached the Scottish final of the UK Young Chef of the Year competition. I would definitely recommend anyone interested in enrolling on a Met course to get some kind of relevant work experience. Not only will it boost your skills but it will look good on your CV.

After graduation I worked in Strathblane as head chef at the Kirkhouse Inn then got a job as sous

chef at the Millennium Hotel. From there I became head chef at New Lanark Mill Hotel before going back to the Millennium Hotel in my current position. It’s amazing the number of former Met students who work here. It seems like every member of my staff trained at the college. In fact I’ve been on the phone to Willie McCurrach, Head of Food Division at the college, a few times to ask if students are reliable. If someone makes the effort to turn up at college every day without getting paid I know I can count on them.

I’d love to have my own hotel one day and have seen what standards are expected of a four-star establishment like the Millennium.

Mary-Jo McKinnonHNC Patisserie

I had an idea to open my own chocolate business so looked into the skills needed. Glasgow Met seemed like the best option so I enrolled on the sugar-flower course before doing creative cake making then HNC Patisserie.

I am a mature student with three sons so it was quite daunting going back to college. However, the support I’ve received from lecturers has been tremendous. They’ve really encouraged me to be creative.

The HNC Patisserie involves chocolate work, sugar blowing, and making pastries and gateaux. It has helped me hone my vision to open my own business selling pastries as well as chocolates.

I even did a calligraphy course in the evening, which is invaluable when it comes to piping the icing on cakes.

Every day something special happens and there are so many highlights from my time at college. But the most memorable experience was creating a Homecoming Scotland cake featuring nine of the country’s most famous landmarks.

It was part of an end-of-year assessment based on the TV advert featuring famous Scots like Sean Connery, Chirs Hoy and Lulu.

The cake took around 300 hours to complete and creating it was a nerve-wracking experience. However it was well worth the nerves. I won the Silver Cup Award and many people,

including Education secretary Mike Russell, have told me they loved it.

I have loads to learn but I’m amazed at what I’ve discovered about myself. I feel I’ve learned enough to open my business and staff at the college said they’d be available to help me even when I’ve left.

I work as a part-time pastry chef at the Rogano restaurant in Glasgow. I was terrified when I first started because it has such a good reputation but it has been amazing.

I’ve been commissioned to do a few wedding cakes and some lecturers think I should advertise to do more but at the moment I’m focussing on completing the course.

Alana DuffyHND Hospitality Management

I’m loving life in the hospitality industry but I owe my success to the tutors at Glasgow Met.

With their help and patience I achieved my HND with flying colours and went on to land a great job as a waitress at the Park Inn Hotel in the city centre.

People come into the hotel to relax and have a good time so it’s a brilliant feeling to know that I’ve helped them do that.

The job can be exhausting at

times but it can also be extremely rewarding, especially when people show their appreciation and tell you they’ve enjoyed themselves.

I graduated in the summer of 2009 and won a citizenship award for taking part in a mentoring scheme aimed at helping new students settle into college life.

My three years at the Met – the first year being an NQ in Hospitality – were an unforgettable experience and I really miss my old lecturers and classmates.

I have so many great memories but the highlight was organising a theme night in Scholars’ restaurant. Two of my classmates and I had to put on an event for family and friends so we chose to do an Irish night.

The build-up was really nerve-wracking but we managed to pull it off just fine despite a few last-minute hiccups that included forgetting to put out a table.

I’m 21 so if I keep working hard hopefully I’ll progress within the hospitality industry.

I currently study Furniture Design at Glasgow Met. Both the lecturers and facilities at the college are fantastic and I am really pleased I chose this course.

People in Japan believe it is good to study English language in the UK but not many of them know about furniture design courses in Scotland. During my studies my English has improved greatly and I have learned a range of professional skills in a new environment.

The people of Scotland are very friendly and I am happy to be living and studying a specific area of expertise.
