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

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

Living and Studying in London 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.
4
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 highquality 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

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.

What People Say Hilda A Student, 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 K Student, 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, Lecturer Department 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, Lecturer Department 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 Coordinator 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, Lecturer Department 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.

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

In order to sit an exam in May, you must submit an application by 17 September (nonEU students) or 17 October (EU students) in the year BEFORE the first examination and be registered by 31 November.

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.

Additional Rules and Support 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 reapply 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

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).

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.
