Hoping to progress to university for further study
Studying at LMC has helped me become more independent, and one of the key skills I’ve developed so far is communication. At college, you're constantly interacting with staff and classmates, which really helps strengthen this skill further. The course really supports my professional journey by contributing to my personal development and growth, although studying at College takes dedication and hard work, it all continues to build valuable life skills.
Olivia joined LMC in September 2024 to study Forensic Science Level 3. Drawn by her interest in the criminal justice system, she’s developed key skills and confidence throughout the course. She hopes to progress to university to study Law, Criminology, or Forensic Science.
Olivia chose the Forensic Science Level 3 course because it offers a wide range of career opportunities across several sectors, including law enforcement. She has always had a strong interest in the criminal justice system and was keen to learn how suspects are identified through evidence analysis. This made the course an ideal choice for her interests.
One of Olivia’s favourite aspects of the course is learning various forensic analysis techniques and methods of evidence collection. She also enjoys the variety of lessons and topis, particularly forensic genetics, which she finds especially engaging.

My biggest accomplishment so far at College is becoming more confident in presenting my work and meeting new people. I have stepped out of my comfort zone more often, and it has helped me grow into a more confident person.
After completing the course, Olivia hopes to progress to university to study either Law & Criminology or Forensic Science. She is passionate about deepening her understanding of the criminal justice system and is eager to continue building the knowledge and skills that will support her future career. Her time at College has helped her become more focused and motivated, and she is now looking forward to the next stage of her academic journey.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in studying Forensic Science and Criminal Investigation. It also opens up a variety of career pathways, which are helpful for those who are unsure about which career pathway they want to pursue in the future.
YOUR TUTOR(S)
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience of animals with students and seeing a learners journey as they make progress. The best part of teaching the course would definitely be the experience we offer learners, it's a unique and hands on way of developing their knowledge of working with animals.
My favourite part of this role is working with such an amazing team here at Lancaster & Morecambe College, and also being able to pass on my industry knowledge to all my students and support them in their journey to becoming a Beauty Therapist.
My favourite part of my role is being able to recall my industry knowledge and then passing it onto my students. The knowledge I have from working in the industry gives the students a better understanding of real life situations and how to transfer their skills into future careers.
I would recommend LMC as a fantastic place to study sport and continue your development and interests in football. Your studies link to your football development as much as possible, helping you gain the knowledge, skills and experiences to pursue a career in sport in the future.
In my role as a course tutor I’m responsible for ensuring that my students develop in many areas, and not just Hairdressing. I like to encourage my students to improve their well-being as well as support them with their personal development and learning journey, to gain the knowledge to be successful within their course to achieve the qualifications they need to progress in the industry.
I would say that Hospitality & Catering industry isn’t an easy option, but it can be really rewarding and enjoyable if you work hard at it. It also has excellent job prospects at the end of the course, as the majority of our completing students gain full time employment within high class establishments
