Part-time work opportunities
We recognize that many of our students will want to do some part-time work while studying at the college. However the resent UKBA legislation has clearly stated that international students are not entitled to work neither up to 10 hours a week during the term, nor full-time during vacations (please refer to current regulations as it depends on the policies of Home Office).
Social programmes
Students are encouraged to set up social groups and join together to create shared experiences. The College regularly arranges tours to attractions and historic monuments for interested students.
