University Centre West Anglia (UcWA), in King’s Lynn, welcomed Sir Henry Bellingham MP to speak with students and tour the town’s new degree facilities, on Friday 10 March.
Sir Henry met with Principal David Pomfret and a mix of both College of West Anglia (CWA) A-level students and UcWA degree students for a talk and Q&A in the UcWA lecture hall.
He talked about his role as an MP and the modern day political world, before answering a wide range of challenging questions from the students, on topics such as Brexit, education policies and government strategies.
Henry Bellingham, MP for NW Norfolk said: “It was pleasure to visit CWA, where I had the chance to do a Q & A with a group of business studies students. After that the Principal took me on a tour of the campus, which involved a visit to all the different departments.
“Although I have been a regular visitor over the years, I was really impressed with the very significant level of investment in the skills agenda. We had the chance to see a number of groups of students carrying out off the job placements from various firms in West Norfolk. Above all, I came away with the strong impression that the college is now really succeeding in helping to equip local businesses in securing the skills they need for the future.”
Business lecturer Paul Cullen said: "Our students were able to learn a great deal from Sir Henry about modern political life both in the House of Commons and in the West Norfolk constituency, which clearly enhanced their knowledge for their future studies as well as stimulating their interest in local, national and global affairs."
