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!

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.

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

As in all our training courses, group discounts are
available for organisations that send a group of people

business report, interview techniques, basic instruction
writing, final business written and oral test, financial
terminologies, business English with IT terminologies

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
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
to them.
Diversity and equality
Anglian College is proud of being a diverse community within a
diverse city. Our policies embody our commitment to equality and
to eliminating discrimination. We aim to ensure that the College
remains an inclusive environment where equality of opportunity
