At the start of term, you'll receive a Student Success Passport which includes a diary as well as an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). These will help you to plan your time and manage your assignments.
You'll have a variety of teaching and learning experiences. These can include workshops and skills sessions, lectures, seminars, discussions, student presentations and independent research.
We advise you talk to your tutor first. They may be able to provide all the help that is needed, but if not our Additional Learning Support team can support you with skills like writing assignments or organising your time.
This depends on your programme, but you'll generally be set a piece of assessed work every three weeks.
Yes, it's possible to work outside of college time. We recommend that you should work no more than 12 hours per week, as this can affect your success at college.
Some students are eligible for free meals and help with other costs, such as travel passes, uniform and equipment. Click here to find out more about how we can help with the costs of studying.
In the summer before your programme starts, you'll be invited to attend Summer College. This helps you to make new friends, get to know the college and meet tutors and prepare for your programme.
Targets for your achievement are fed back to parents/guardians and students in a minimum of two reports a year, as well as at parents' evenings. We'll also invite parents/guardians into college in September to explain how they can contribute to your success, the requirements of the programme and how to get in contact with the college if needed.
