Case Study

“I’ve always been interested in jewellery making but didn’t know where to start. After listening to the BAJ podcast, a friend recommended the Level 3 Diploma in Jewellery, Design & Production course. It was the perfect first step, and I then progressed to the BA (Hons) Jewellery, Design, and Production. The most valuable skill I’ve gained is creative thinking. BAJ offers excellent facilities, tutors, and support to help me develop my skills. I hope to eventually start my own jewellery business or work for a jewellery company.”
