After Graduation
Success in life comes from more than just exams so all students are encouraged to broaden their horizons beyond the classroom to develop new skills and broaden their outlook on life. All departments offer educational visits to enhance the curriculum. These can include residential visits and trips to the theater, museums, galleries and to local universities.
Links with a number of local businesses have been built up to give students a flavor of what different sectors can offer and the skills they are looking for in candidates. Interactive workshops and voluntary work placements have all contributed to this.
overall the students can work for up to 20 hours per week while studying in this country, only if this does not affect their educational progress.
