Hello and welcome to Anglian College London.

We are a small, friendly college that believes in achieving

results. If you want university-standard education, but

cannot afford university prices, take a good look at what

Anglian College offers. You will not find better value for

money in further education anywhere in London.

What is our secret? Partly our location – in a historic

part of Greater London, not the expensive city centre.

Partly our premises – not ancient, ivy-covered halls, but

functional rooms that formerly belonged to Greenwich

Principal’s Foreword

University. Most of all, we deliver quality tuition in

ways that can fit into a full life of work and pleasure in

one of the world’s greatest cities.

As the Principal here at Anglian College, I am

ultimately responsible for our academic standards.

So I am happy to tell you that we have small class

sizes, modern computer equipment, and quality

written materials. Above all, we have motivated and

well qualified lecturers, teaching to internationally

recognised standards, watched over by efficient

management. Everything is ready for you to get good

exam results.

The rules for obtaining a student visa to come to Britain

are becoming tougher. No more just pretending to

study. You have to put in at least 15 hours a week,

attending classes and studying, in order to prove you

are a bona fide student. However, you can also earn

good money by working up to 20 hours per week (and

longer in the holidays).

Anglian College’s location combines relatively low

living costs with ready access to the whole of London.

Even in a time of recession there are decently paid

part-time jobs for any student who is willing to work

hard and flexibly. And of course you will have access

to all of London’s rich cultural life, from museums to

night clubs, from libraries to sporting events.

Our most popular course remains Business Studies

with Information Technology – delivering just the

right mix of skills for you to earn a good living in the

modern, computerised, global village. And within our

Health Care courses one field in which Anglian College

stands out is Dental Nursing because we are one of

the few places that is fully equipped on site.

Come and see what we have on offer!

Principal

Lots of great cities are proud of their history, their

dynamism, and their multi-cultural happiness, but London

is the greatest of them all. 2000 years of history has

given our city an immense range of historic buildings,

monuments, museums, and galleries. Greater London is

bigger than Paris plus Rome plus Vienna put together, yet it

contains more green parks, public open spaces, and wildlife

than most other capitals. London is a top world centre

for financial services and banking, as well as a creative

powerhouse for the arts and media.

The United Kingdom, with London at its heart, pioneered

many things that the whole world now takes for granted,

such as computers, universal health care, railways, many

sports, the theory of evolution, freedom of speech, river

tunnels, antibiotics, and of course the English language.

London was the first city to confront, and start to overcome

many urban problems: smog in the air, sewage in the river,

too many cars on the road.

Academic Excellence

London’s universities are among the best in the world,

providing top-quality courses at vocational, undergraduate,

postgraduate, professional, or specialist levels. Surrounding

and feeding those top educational institutions are a host of

other resources: libraries, museums, learned societies, and

small colleges.

Anglian College is one of those feeder organisations, a

small college dedicated to one simple goal: bringing the

rich banquet of London’s opportunities within the reach

of students who are not rich. Our location provides just

the right balance of easy access to big city opportunities

(notably part-time jobs and spare time fun) coupled with

affordable housing and good transport.

Living and Studying in London

“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of Life. For there is in London all that life can afford.”

- Samuel Johnson

Home from Home

Greater London’s population is amazingly diverse, so

wherever you come from in the world, you can fit right in.

There are sure to be people who speak your home language,

share your religion, like the same music, or have the same

hobbies – all living together in harmony.

London grew into a massive metropolis by absorbing many

small villages. One of them is Woolwich (Anglian College’s

base), which still retains much of its old identity as a

modest fishing village, which then grew into a site of heavy

industry, and is now being reborn as a modern suburb with

transport links fit for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Live Life to the Full

Education does not just happen in a classroom. Coming to

the UK will expose you to a wide range of people and ideas:

some familiar, some new, and some shocking.

Much of your learning will be fairly painless: from high-

quality British TV, radio, newspapers, and commercial

practice. You will be at the heart of the English language,

able to read more books, hear more spoken accents, and

watch more entertainments than anywhere else in the

world.

Check our website for some of the many facilities that

London offers which are free, or low in cost – just right for

a student on a budget. Near the College there are enough

tourist sights to keep an active walker happy for months.

Further afield in London there are dozens of museums and

attractions that are free to enter, from the big and famous

to the small and quirky. Then there are lots of big annual

events for everyone to watch: the London Marathon, boat

races, the Lord Mayor’s Procession, firework displays, and

much more.

Build your Career

Unfortunately life isn’t all fun and here at Anglian College

we never forget your top priority in coming to London. You

need to learn new skills, return home with a recognised

qualification, and develop a fulfilling career. So here you

will receive effective tuition in small classes, following the

latest courses, with modern equipment and teaching aids,

plus opportunities for work experience. You are only young

once, so seize the moment!

“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of Life. For there is in London all that life can afford.”

- Samuel Johnson

The rules about coming to the UK as a student, and how

much work you can do while you are here, were in the

process of changing when this prospectus was being

written. For the latest information, please look up the web

site of the UK Border Agency: www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk

For Anglian College’s latest advice, please speak to our

Admissions staff, but here is some general information

about coming to the UK as a student.

Visas and Paid Work

Citizens of the 27 European Union countries (plus many

of their dependent territories, and Norway, Iceland,

Switzerland, and Liechtenstein) are free to come to London

and sign up as a student on almost exactly the same basis

as UK citizens. (Provided they have enough money not to

be a burden on the state and they obey the law, of course.)

Everyone else needs entry clearance and/or a visa.

The Border Agency website explains in detail about the

procedures to be followed, the documents required, the

fees, and how to sort out problems, when you ask for entry

clearance.

The underlying principles of student entry clearance are

straightforward and obvious. The UK welcomes bona fide,

hard-working, self-supporting students with open arms,

but it wants to keep out bogus ‘students’ who want to

slide into the black economy and cause social problems.

6

The UK government departments involved have recently

been hugely improved (after some years of chaos, being

overwhelmed by the sheer number of immigrants) and

procedures are still settling down. For example there is an

incompletely thought out plan to issue biometric identity

cards to foreign students.

To get student entry clearance you will need to have

your prospective UK education (college, courses,

accommodation, finances) fully sorted out in advance. As

your “sponsor”, Anglian College London has a duty to make

sure that you are indeed studying properly. Please do not

confuse us with certain dishonest organisations that are

just a front for illegal immigration and badly paid work!

There are detailed rules about how many hours of tuition

your courses must contain, your previous educational

levels, and so on.

While you are here, you will be permitted to work part-

time (i.e. up to 20 hours per week) during the course-work

terms, and full time during the vacations. In addition,

some courses inherently include periods of full- or part-

time work experience, which may be either paid or unpaid.

During your time in London, you will be free in principle to

take any type of job, but inevitably when you are young and

available only part of the time, you are likely to be offered

a pay rate not much more than the National Minimum

Wage, which in 2009 is £5.73 per hour for age 22 and over.

Anglian College will try to help you find a good job, but

please understand that we are not a recruitment agency.

If you want to stay on in the UK to work for a while after

finishing your studies, you will need to meet one of the

criteria described on the Border Agency website for non-

student workers, and to put in your application well before

you finish studying. There are lots more, quite complex

rules, for example for dependant relatives of students, or

for under-18s, which you can mostly read in detail on the

Internet. If you need advice, our Admissions department

will try to help.

What People SayHilda AStudent, Uganda

I don’t have to pay a lot of money for my degree course

compared to other colleges and universities. The students

vary from different countries but I am glad we can socialise

and help each other in various fields such as academics,

life etc. More than that, I like my teachers because they

are always there for the students, easy to talk to and they

give support where necessary.”

Radhika KStudent, Nepal

I am a dental nursing student at Anglian College London,

where I have found the college environment very supportive

and up to date. College staff have been very dedicated to

giving their best to the students. The College not only

helps our studies, it also helps for university entrance

and careers guidance. It has its own dental surgery for

practical work and has been completely focussed on

practical education. This has been so fruitful for me

as a dental nursing student, as I had no problem for a

placement and the lecturers are so helpful. I personally

have felt my decision to choose Anglian College was perfect

for upgrading my career. Today I have been working as a

dental nurse, so all the credit goes to my College and my

teachers and their efforts.

Hugo O, LecturerDepartment of Language & Training

Hello! My name is Hugo Oxley and I head the English

Department at Anglian College London, and I have

over ten years’ experience as an English and EFL tutor.

Our department offers a wide range of facilities and is

structured to meet the needs of students of all academic

levels. So, if you are worried that your spoken and written

English isn’t up to scratch – don’t be! We will ensure that

your needs are met, and that you’ll thoroughly enjoy your

time and studies at Anglian College London.

Gloria G, LecturerDepartment of Health and Care

I have spent many years in the employment of the National

Health Services (NHS) where I have worked and managed

several specialities. Here at Anglian College, I am the Co-

ordinator for the Health and Social Care Courses which

the College is actively developing. I am happy for the

opportunity where I can continue to put my skills and

knowledge at the disposal of ambitious young people like

you and your fellow students who are already here with

us.

Ying Z, LecturerDepartment of Business Studies

It’s good to see Anglian College London providing such

a lovely atmosphere for its students. Having a sound

knowledge of English is extremely important in all courses

you do in the UK. Students can also improve their language

skills while pursuing other course at Anglian. I would say

our strength is high quality business, IT and health care

programmes supported through the provision of English

language tuition by genuine and appropriately qualified

native English lecturers.

Courses at AnglianYou will see in the following pages how our well known and

accredited diplomas easily lead you to university degrees.

If you satisfactorily pass a Diploma or a Higher Diploma

with us, you may be able to join the second or third year of

a bachelor’s degree programme in many UK universities.

While Diplomas may cost you from £1800 to £2400 (UK

pounds) per year, the fees for the degree programmes in

a university may well be up to £10,000 a year. By joining

only the final year at the university, you are likely to save

anything up to £15,000 pounds for your further studies.

You will save even more if you continue your final year

with us, when suitable courses become available. Please

read through our courses pages in this prospectus.

After reading the quick snapshots of courses here,

please research them in detail on your own. Our course

programmes are competitive and boldly designed by

highly educated professionals, with industrial standards in

mind. Job opportunities and intellectual development will

reward you for working hard on our programmes. Choose

courses that are suitable for you, and your achievements

to date, not just because you would vaguely like to get

a particular degree. Our Admissions advisors are always

ready to help.

Knowledge Level exams, provided they have already

completed similar modules as part of their degree

programmes. Contact ACCA to discuss individual

cases, which saves money and time, but be sure to

do so before enrolling on a specific level of study

at the College. If you inform the College of your

exemption only after the start of tuition for papers

you have enrolled on, you will still be charged for

those papers.

Qualifications lead to a degree

Students who pass all the ACCA ‘Fundamental’

modules (F1 to F9) can move on to an Oxford

Brooks BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting. On that

track you take Paper P1, Professional Accountant,

then complete the Professional Ethics Paper, and

then submit a Research and Analysis Project to the

University.

Dental Nursing - NEBDN

The National Examination Board for Dental Nursing is an

authorised body that supervises the conduct of Dental Nursing

programmes and their exams.

Anglian College is fully authorised to run NEBDN’s National

Certificate in Dental Nursing programmes.

Why study this programme?

There are many reasons why people study these

programmes. Those who are already working in

dentistry may want formal recognition of the work

they do, by enrolling on the course and having their

work and portfolio assessed against the NEBDN

criteria. Others wish to study at the College one

day a week and gain practical experience through

designated placements (paid or unpaid), which

will subsequently count towards their awards. At

Anglian, you are required to study for two days per

week (1 day theory, 1 day tutorial) as per the Home

Office requirement of 15 hours of supervised

learning.

Work Placement

The College arranges many placements, but

students are encouraged to make their own efforts

to find one from an early stage of their learning.

Placements may be paid or unpaid, but they are a

required part of your study programmes.

Job Opportunity in UK?

From July 2008, all Dental Nurses in the UK

should have at least a National Certificate (or be

undertaking the programme) to be allowed to

practice in the sector. There appears to be a strong

demand for qualified nurses, so success in the

programme may lead to good job opportunities.

After completing the programme you may progress

to the post-certification courses, which will also be

available from us.

Health & Social Care (HSC) Studies – CITY AND GUILDS

What is City and Guilds?

City and Guilds is an internationally recognised provider of

vocational qualifications. Anglian College London is fully

accredited to conduct their NVQ levels 2 to 4 programmes in

Health and Social Care, and we expect to offer more of their

programmes soon.

What is an NVQ?

A National Vocational Qualification is an award given to candidates

who meet certain goals laid down for a particular career, as

endorsed by their supervisors, assessors and verifiers.

Why a Health and Social Care programme?

There are many reasons for joining these programmes. Maybe you

are already working in health and social care sector and wish to

receive formal recognition of your skills, in an NVQ that assesses

your work and portfolio against the City and Guilds criteria. Or

you may wish to develop and consolidate your theoretical skills

by studying at the College while you gain practical experience

through designated placements, which will all build up towards

your NVQ awards. The rules for overseas students’ visas require

15 hours per week of supervised learning, which in Anglian

College programmes are set up as one day of theory and one day

of tutorial.

Who arranges your Placement? Will it be paid?

You will be required to attend a work placement (which may be

paid or unpaid) as part of your study programme. The College

arranges placements for its students, but we encourage you to

make your own efforts to find one too.

Work opportunity in the UK

The Health and Social Care programmes provide excellent

opportunity for both home and overseas students to work in care

and nursing homes in the UK. Overseas students may be able to

work on a placement in addition to 20 hours allowance. Initially

such a placement may be unpaid, but once you are experienced

you may be able to find a paid placement. However, this is not

guaranteed and the home must allow assessors from Anglian

College London to visit and assess while working there.

HSC COURSE CONTENTS AT EACH LEVEL OF STUDY

English for International Students (EIS)

If your English Language skills need improvement (no

matter what your existing level) Anglian College has a

course for you. Our specialist English lecturers, who are

also fully qualified native speakers, run regular courses for

new students who have not previously studied in English

and need some coaching before they start their specialist

courses. Other courses are for experienced users of

English who wish to upgrade their writing style or spoken

accent.

EIS Preliminary

Focus is maintained on the basics of the four areas of

skills in English language i.e. Reading, Writing, Listening

and Speaking. Candidates will revisit article, adjectives,

noun, adverb, tenses, singular and plural, prepositions

of time and place, used to, comparing, talking about

quantity, making predictions, conditionals, writing basic

sentences developing to small paragraphs, familiarising

with essays, poem, story, describing colour, people and

geography, addressing people to list a few.

EIS Advanced

More advanced approach is taken to teaching and learning

where students actively participate to make the classroom

a lively and practical English language zone. Further

exercises such as describing directions on foot, directions

on vehicle, everyday English interactions, advanced essay,

comprehension, quiz and survey, English and IT, English

in business, reading tabloid and broadsheet, job search,

basic CV, covering letter, understanding a job description,

interviews, talking for others (for those who can not express

themselves), understanding and analysing either or all of

story book, novel, poems, final assessment.

Business English

This course attempts to improve the quality of English

usage of a student who has acquired skills at EIS Advanced

level to meet the unique requirement of a business setting.

The resources are at more advanced level but introduce

gradually the knowledge in English required to dealing

with various situations arising in a day to day business

environment. Whether it is for writing basic business letters

or utilising business specific techniques, phraseology and

attitudes, commercial way of life demands anyone above

Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Malay,

Nepalese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese and Korean. Please

As in all our training courses, group discounts are

available for organisations that send a group of people

for training. Advance booking may be required. Although

these coursesare a cost-effective way for students to

broaden their prospects in Europe and worldwide, we

do not recommend using them to apply for a long-term

student visa.

utilities such as written and oral essays, instant speech,

commercial letters, effective presentation, writing

business report, interview techniques, basic instruction

writing, final business written and oral test, financial

terminologies, business English with IT terminologies

programme will face challenges of more advanced

contents and, upon success, be awarded a diploma by

the College. No external bodies are involved in issuing the

final awards. The programmes are designed to improve

the quality of English and are delivered by CELTA qualified

lecturers whose first language is English.

Studying Degrees in Anglian College Duration and commencement

These are 3-year taught programmes commencing in September

of each year. Although we take applications for all three terms

and ask you to attend the most immediate taught term, your exam

is held only once a year, in May/June. In order to sit an exam

in May, you must submit an application by 17 September (non-

EU students) or 17 October (EU students) in the year BEFORE

the first examination and be registered by 31 November. It is

important to arrive in the UK in good time to be able to apply

before the deadlines.

* Note: For more information about further units and

other course-related details, see the University of Lon-

don External Programme Website. Anglian College

London is not a college of UoL but only a tuition provid-

er. You are required to register with UoL, in addition to

our registration process, for you to become eligible for

attending their exams by paying their applicable fees.

The College fees only cover the tuition while attending

your programmes and you will not be able to start your

programme without their approval and registration.

25

1. Make an application

Just visit our website, click Apply Online, and fill in the

Online Application Form. Or else download a copy of

the Application Form, fill it in on paper, and post it to the

College. Then follow up immediately by email, fax or post

with copies of:

Two passport-sized photographs•

Evidence of the qualifications you claimed in your •

application

Evidence of work experience (if applicable)•

When choosing a course, please make sure that your •

qualifications meet the entry requirements stated for

that course and that you can pay the fees.

2. Receive an ‘Offer of Place’ letter

The College’s Application and Assessment Board (AAB)

will review your application. If it approves a course for you

(which may sometimes be an alternative from what you

requested), we will email you an acceptance letter called

‘Offer of a Place’, detailing:

Your approved course or a programme title, and its •

duration plus start and finish dates

Fees you must pay before we can go further – the •

Minimum Tuition Fee

Fees we suggest you pay to help your case, but not •

compulsory for the process:

Accommodation Booking Fee – gives you a definite •

address to go to on arrival

Express Delivery DHL Fee – for fast, reliable delivery of •

your Admission letter

Airport Pickup/Transfer – if you need a pre-arranged •

taxi service to take you to your accommodation on

arrival at the airport.

Any additional Information to assist in your next step •

of preparation.

A paper copy of the “Offer of a Place letter” will follow •

by post unless you tell us you do not need it.

3. Make payment and send documents

Take your ‘Offer of a Place’ letter to a local bank and

tell them how much you wish to pay to the College for

your application. Some banks may ask you for additional

documents such as your qualifications or proof of identity.

Nowadays we recommend International Bank Transfer

(also called a wire transfer or Electronic Funds Transfer,

EFT). The College is still happy to receive international

payments the old way on paper (Banker’s Draft) but

paying electronically is generally best, because you can

more easily chase up any delays in the banking system.

Please make sure that payment is made to Anglian College

London, not to anyone else. If you pay a third party or

an agent, we will not accept that you have paid your fees.

Once the payment is made, please do not forget to send

us a copy of the transaction receipt. Use email address

[email protected] (or fax) to send the

copies of your photo, qualifications, and bank receipt to

the College. There is no need to use registered or express

delivery when sending copies of these documents. After

a week or so you may start checking with us if we have

received them and have sent you the admission letter.

Our online system lets you check 24 hours a day on the

progress of your application, by clicking on the ‘Check

Your Application’ link on our website, then entering your

ACL reference number and date of birth in the form

provided.

Admission Procedures

26

Please note

The minimum tuition fee (a deposit) must be paid •

before an admission letter is issued. The rest of your

tuition fee is due during the registration process. The

College will not register you until ALL the fees have

been paid.

Fees of professional bodies such as ABE, NEBDN, City •

and Guilds (for registration, exemption, examination

entry, etc) are extra, not included in Anglian College’s

fees.

Fees are non-transferable. They are for you alone.•

You allow us up to two weeks to respond once you •

have made a payment.

All the above is essential for your application process to

continue. Take money matters extremely seriously. Some

tough rules about payments (which all colleges have) are

unfortunately necessary to combat abuses.

4. Receive Admissions letter and apply for a Visa

Once the College has received the minimum deposit for a

course and the requested documents, we will send you an

‘Admission to Anglian College London’ letter, confirming

that a place has been reserved for you on the course. Along

with this document will come a letter to the British visa

office explaining the terms and context of our documents,

a letter confirming ‘provisional’ accommodation booking,

some additional information sheets, plus a certificate for

accommodation booking if you have paid for that. When

applying for a visa, please ensure that all documents issued

by the College are intact and submitted to the visa office.

Ask them for advice about any other documents you need

to submit – they are generally very helpful. Or else visit

their website and download necessary information.

5. Arrive at Anglian College and Register

You should immediately report to the College on your

arrival. If you report late we will not accept you without

a satisfactory reason and suitable evidence to back it up.

Please bring all your original documents, plus payment

for the remaining balance of your total tuition fees, in

cash or preferably in an international draft in pounds

Sterling. Overseas students just arrived with a visa will

not be entitled to pay by installments, but home students

may be entitled to installment arrangements as per the

College policy. Once we are satisfied with the payment

and your documents we will ask you to fill in a number of

forms including the Registration Form, Enrolment Form

and ID Card Form. Please be patient while the process is

completed as it tends to take a few hours. Only when you

have registered and enrolled will you become officially a

student at Anglian College London and receive your arrival

pack and ID card.

27

Student Support ServicesWhen you come and study at Anglian College London we

aim to look after you well, with a range of student services

to make your stay enjoyable, so you can concentrate on

the most important thing – learning.

Passports and visas

The College is happy to help overseas students with

passport and visa formalities. If your student visa is due

to expire during your study, be sure to inform the College

authorities at least 6 weeks before the date of expiry and

the College will help you arrange an extension. Although

we do not provide legal advice on immigration matters,

we may refer you to local immigration advisors who are

officially registered.

Progress reports

If requested four weeks in advance, the College may send

a student’s academic progress report to the Home Office

or to an employer, outlining the student’s attendance and

grades achieved in recent examinations. While we are

pleased to notify the students of their progress and data

held in our systems about them, our communications

with outside bodies are private and do not require to be

disclosed. We reserve a right not to provide references,

attendance certificates or reports if a student’s attendance

is below 80%.

Health and insurance

Overseas students who are in the UK for 6 months or

longer are entitled to medical treatment under the National

Health Service (NHS) and therefore medical insurance is

not necessary. Upon arrival in London, you should register

with a doctor as soon as you can. To confirm your student

status and period of study your Certificate of Registration

should normally suffice, but the College can provide a

formal letter to take to the doctor if required.

Accommodation

The College has special arrangements with local

landlords, accommodation companies and estate agents,

which provide rooms for our students for periods of two

weeks or more. It is common practice in the UK to rent

housing for at least six months, but our accommodation

arrangements allow you to leave after just two weeks and

make your own arrangements, like most modern students.

If you wish to continue beyond the two weeks for which

your accommodation is booked by the College, you ought

to have a separate arrangement in place with the landlord

when you arrive in the UK. The accommodation is self-

catering and requires you to have your own bed linen.

Please visit our website for more details.

Jobs & Careers Advice

Our careers service provides students with advice on

looking for jobs in London, on writing and designing a

CV, as well as on performing well at job interviews. The

College also posts on its notice board job vacancies sent

to it by local employers and employment agencies.

Student Welfare Service

We do our best to help students with all their needs during

their stay in London, advising those who have problems

at work or in their accommodation, and providing lists of

local doctors and dentists, plus places of worship for all

faiths.

Opening a UK Bank Account

Our staff will be happy to assist you with letters of

introduction to any of the main high street banks.

Airport transfers – Meet-and-Greet service

This service includes a registered taxi service with an

experienced and reliable driver who will meet you in the

Arrivals area of the airport terminal carrying a sign with your

name on it and take you to your booked accommodation.

Return transfers from the accommodation to the airport

are also available on request. If you wish the College

to organise these services for you, please send in your

request and flight details to Admissions along with the

associated fees at least two weeks in advance.

Details in this prospectus are believed to be correct at

the time of going to print, but are subject to alteration.

Course descriptions are provided as an illustration and

may be subject to change. If you find any errors, please

tell the Director of Operations at Anglian College.28

29

Term times and course start dates

The College accepts student applications throughout the year,

regardless of the academic calendar. It has four terms, named

after the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter. Unlike many

UK colleges and universities, Anglian College lets you start your

course of study with any of the intakes. If an academic term is

suspended by the College, all affected students will be moved on

to join the next available term. The course start date is usually

the beginning of each term.

Non-arrival and non-attendance

If you obtain a visa through the College but do not register with

us within two weeks of the start of your course without our

written permission, we will first try to contact you to ask for an

explanation. It is your responsibility to update your new contact

details with us within a week and to remain contactable. Then,

if no valid reason is presented, the College will inform the Home

Office of your absence. If you come back to us after you have been

de registered and reported to the Home Office, you will need to re-

apply again and pay the necessary fees as a fresh applicant.

We take student attendances very seriously. If you fail to attend

classes regularly we will contact you to ask for an explanation.

If you do not then satisfy us that you have a genuine reason for

being absent, we may inform both your guardians and sponsors,

and in the case of international students, the Home Office.

Overseas students from outside the European Economic

Community must attend a minimum of 80% of their classes in

order to comply with United Kingdom Immigration requirements.

Absences through ill health must be supported by a medical

certificate or formal letter from a properly registered GP/doctor.

A student who has started a course of study may drop out and

subsequently restart at no extra cost only in exceptional or

extenuating circumstances and if leave of absence has been

officially granted by the Principal of the College

Refunds

Once you obtain a student visa with the documents provided by

Anglian College London, you will not be entitled to a refund of

fees for any reason. If you are refused a visa, and do not intend

to re-apply or make an appeal, you may request a refund, less the

College’s minimum administrative charges in force at the time of

application (or at the time of refund request if more than one year

after the application). Then you must send a signed declaration

form, available from Admissions, together with all pages of the

original documents from Anglian College and the original visa

refusal letter issued by the British embassy or High Commission,

Additional Rules and Support

30

to reach us within 60 days of visa refusal. Without those papers

you will lose the right to a refund. We will not process a refund

request submitted with incomplete documents or with missing

pages.

Further fees and installments

Make sure that your tuition fees and all other expenses relating to

your programme are paid on time. Fee payments must be up to

date at all times while you are studying at Anglian College. If you

fail to make payment after a formal or informal reminder, you may

eventually be expelled from the College. It is your responsibility

to manage your relationship with your sponsors and to ensure

that payment of fees is not interrupted. Remember, the College

has a contractual agreement only with you, not with your sponsor.

You must also be up to date with payments to course providers

and be able to attend their external exams at the end of each

term of tuition.

Re-registration

In order to be officially identified as a student, and to be

permitted to carry the College’s Identity Card, all students must

be ‘registered’ with the College. To be registered, a student must

be guaranteed, at the time of registration, to be enrolled on a

course or a programme of study involving tuition at the College.

Overseas students’ visas require them to attend a full-time course,

so they cannot enrol on a part-time course unless they are also

enrolled on a full-time course at Anglian or elsewhere.

A student who wishes to repeat a programme of study, or part of

it, due to failure in internal or external examinations (or for any

other reason) must pay the full tuition fee for the programme and

must attend tuition when it is being delivered during the year.

Such fees are still payable even if the particular subject or module

is not being delivered in the immediate term. Repeated failure

on the same modules may be considered deliberate negligence,

subject to investigation and potentially leading to disciplinary

action.

Scholarships

The College periodically announces scholarship schemes targeted

at genuine students in need, who can benefit from such welfare. We

also offer partial scholarships to students who have achieved the

highest levels in their external exams and made the College proud

of them. The College may also offer partial or full scholarships to

students who it believes will do very well if given an opportunity.

Further information is made available on our website.

Tuition Delivery

The College will make all reasonable efforts to deliver your

programme as described in its offer letter. However, the College

may need to vary the method and venue of delivery of your

programme, and in some cases the syllabus may be altered or

updated. The College reserves the right to cancel or postpone

a course or part of a course, or to change the tuition venue to

its other approved centres if it considers that there are too few

students for running the course to be financially viable. The

College will ensure that such venues are of quality at least equal

with its own. If a change of venue is announced, students will

not be permitted to withdraw or transfer to a college other than

that which owns the venue. In the unlikely event that the College

discontinues your programme or changes it significantly we will

tell you at the earliest possible opportunity.

Conduct

As a student of the College, you are expected to maintain a

high standard of conduct at all times. Students are required to

attend study lectures, tutorials, examinations and other activities

as part of their programme. This includes submitting course

assignments, dissertations and relevant coursework on time.

Students must make themselves aware of the College rules and

regulations on discipline, grievances and other policies applicable
