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.
