The prospectus is published in advance of the academic year and some changes may occur between publication and the start of the academic year. The College reserves the right to discontinue any course or class or to alter courses or amend any other information, such as entry requirements, modules or special features, without notice.

Welcome to East Kent College

I am delighted that you are considering studying at East Kent College. Our Higher Education Prospectus offers an exciting range of universitylevel qualifications designed to maximise your potential and help you achieve your ambitions. We now offer a wide variety of Higher Education programmes across all three of our campuses in Broadstairs, Dover and Folkestone. Our Science programmes benefit from being delivered in superb training facilities at Discovery Park, Sandwich, home to leading pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer and Mylan.

A Bridge to University or Higher Skilled Employment The College has a unique partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University. Together we have developed a range of Higher National Certificates (HNCs) and Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) which are relevant to the employment needs of the local communities we serve. We are also pleased to introduce the BSc in Hotel Management at our Broadstairs Campus, which has been developed in conjunction with Canterbury Christ Church University in response to our five-star training hotel, The Yarrow, opening autumn 2015. Our aim is to inspire students who have the potential, but who might not otherwise consider Higher Education. These courses are ideal if you have followed a vocational Study Programme and want to make the transition from college to Higher Education or to higher skilled employment. They are also ideal for students who might be seeking an alternative to traditional university entrance.

You can also choose to study one of our well-respected Access to Higher Education programmes, or even one of our new Higher Apprenticeships.

Pursue Your Ambition To a Higher Education At East Kent College we aim to give you the strongest possible foundation for your future career. If you join us on your learning journey you can look forward to working in a supportive, ambitious environment which encourages enterprise and high aspirations. There is lifelong value and great personal satisfaction in completing a university-level qualification, and I strongly encourage you to discover how East Kent College can help you pursue your ambition towards achieving a Higher Education.

Well-Respected Professional Training However, I believe that the appeal for many is simply that HNCs and HNDs are a highly respected qualification in their own right which open the door to many employment opportunities, and which also offer the option to go on to the second year of a university course.

Discover Student Life

Student Unions are active at all of our campuses and the University, with annually elected committees working in both institutions.

The Union has a Campus Coordinator at the Broadstairs Campus, and together with the elected committee they organise the Student Union and the activities at the University’s campuses.

Getting Involved

Learn and Earn

Your first opportunity to get involved will be during Freshers’ Week, helping you get into student life. There will be plenty of chances to meet your Union officers either at the College, or for Higher Education students at the University, and to join societies and groups and make new friends in a friendly, supportive environment.

Higher Education students are able to work while studying. Each course has been organised in a flexible way in order to accommodate, for example, the needs of students in Technology (Engineering and Construction) for day-release study, and the needs of Creative Arts (Media and Music) students for independent access to specialist facilities for their project work.

Throughout the year there will be a whole variety of social events and sporting activities in which to get involved, both in and around the College and at the University’s Broadstairs and Canterbury Campuses. There are regular music gigs at the University campuses, and a range of sport and fitness activities such as yoga and fencing. There are also regular football and rugby squad training sessions. Higher Education students may also have the opportunity to play for the University in interuniversity leagues.

All Higher Education programmes are taught over 1 year, and as well as the commitment to attend lectures and tutorials, you will also need to allow time for independent study at the College or the University’s Learning Centres. Please read the Fact File for each course to see the weekly schedule of teaching.

Discover Career-Relevant Higher Qualifications The College has a long history of working with local, national and international employers. Our university-level courses are career-relevant, with particular emphasis on the development of professional-level knowledge and skills. HNCs/HNDs

Access to Higher Education

An HNC/HND develops work-relevant knowledge and skills for your chosen professional area. These qualifications have intrinsic value to employers and are an ideal springboard to further study. They will enable you to demonstrate the confidence and capacity for employment in senior positions where you are required to exercise personal responsibility. A Higher Education qualification can be your passport to improved career options. It is still the case that someone with a degree (e.g. BA or BSc) is better equipped to succeed in an increasingly competitive jobs market. An HNC/HND will usually be recognised as equivalent to the first/second year of a degree, allowing you to fast track to the second/final year of the degree. Full details of the HNC/HND programmes we offer start on page 18.

Our Access to Higher Education and Pre-Access programmes offer a fast-track route to university for mature students who do not already have the necessary qualifications to start a degree programme. These one-year courses are specifically designed for students aged 19+ and lead to a nationally recognised Access to Higher Education Diploma. Our Access programmes aim to develop confidence and knowledge that will give you the skills needed to progress onto a degree or diploma course.

BScs A BSc is a Level 5 qualification equivalent to a degree. Our BSc programmes are delivered in collaboration with Canterbury Christ Church University. The practical aspects and work-related learning will take place at the College, while theory lessons will be taught at the University campus. For more information on our BSc in Hotel Management, please see page 25.

For further details of our Access programmes, see page 38.

Higher Apprenticeships Higher Apprenticeships are the gold standard of Apprenticeship training programmes, and give employees the chance to build up practical work experience while progressing academically to degree level â&#x2C6;&#x2019; all while being paid a decent salary. For further details of our Higher Apprenticeships, see page 38.

Discover Benefits of Higher Education Offered in partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University, one of our Higher Education programmes could be your first step towards a university degree, and the opportunity to really boost your earning power and career prospects. Here are nine good reasons to find out more.

A Practical Route to University

Higher Education programmes provide a valuable, real-world approach to learning and offer a more practical route to university which is far more suited to some people. In addition, a typical offer for entry to an HNC is between 80 and 120 UCAS tariff points, which is lower than the A-Level tariff.

Direct Entry to University

An HNC is the equivalent of the first year of a university-level course, and an HND is equivalent to the second year. On successful completion of your HND programme you can choose to progress onto the final year of a degree programme at a number of UK universities.

Quality University-Level Training on Your Doorstep

Our Higher Education programmes are validated by Canterbury Christ Church University, so you can be assured that your qualification will provide the necessary academic preparation to progress successfully to degree-level study. Our HNCs are taught at the College’s local campus and offer you skills and training which are relevant to the employment needs of the local area.

Earn and Learn

A Generous Package of Benefits and Equipment

Our Higher Education programmes are designed to allow you to study alongside your employment, so that you can earn and learn at the same time.

The College offers a generous package of additional benefits relevant to your programme.

A Taste of University Life

Discover A Supportive Community

Whatever your background, starting a university-level course will probably be a major change for you, and we are here to help every step of the way. It is important to us that you feel fully able to enjoy your studies and are confident in your ability to get the most out of this life-changing experience.

Mature Students If you are a mature student, don’t worry, as around 50 per cent of our current students fall into this category. If you don’t have the right formal qualifications but do have some experience, then talk to us − we look at each application individually.

Care Leavers Both the College and the University have been awarded the Buttle UK Quality Mark for Care Leavers, which recognises the enhanced support and encouragement we give to young people from care to help them into Higher Education.

Careers Advice

Counselling Services

East Kent College and the University have tremendous expertise when it comes to advising you on the best way to prepare for your future career, and how to maximise the impact of your skills, qualifications and experience in an increasingly competitive jobs market. The advice includes individual help to answer your queries, guidance on creating a professional curriculum vitae (CV), and help with interview techniques. You will be encouraged to produce a Personal Development Plan, collating and reflecting on the skills and experience you gain while studying in Higher Education at the College or University.

Sometimes you just need a bit more help and support.

Our counsellors are all professionally trained and accredited practitioners with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and provide our students with opportunities to explore personal anxieties and emotional concerns. As well as working with individuals, we offer workshops on matters such as stress management, anxiety and assertiveness.

Entry Requirements

East Kent College and Canterbury Christ Church University encourage and welcome applications from all students who are able to benefit from the courses offered. Individual Consideration All applications are considered individually, taking into account academic qualifications, and paying great attention to the personal statement and the reference(s) provided with the application. All applicants will be offered an interview, during which they will be encouraged to discuss the experience, interests and personal qualities that will be relevant to their future success on their chosen course. Many mature students already meet entry requirements before they apply for their course, because of previous study, work or life experience. However, if you are a mature student without formal qualifications you can still apply. We look at each application on an individual basis.

80â&#x2C6;&#x2019;120 UCAS Points Generally, a place on a Higher Education course is offered on the basis of grades achieved, adding up to a certain number of UCAS tariff points. A typical offer for entry to an HNC is between 80 and 120 UCAS tariff points. In order to meet an entry requirement of, for example, 80 UCAS tariff points, an applicant would need to gain two A-Levels at grade E or achieve PP for a BTEC Level 3 Diploma. For the BSc programme applicants will need to have 240 UCAS tariff points. This is equivalent to three A-Levels at grade C or achieving a DD for a BTEC Level 3 Diploma.

The College and University will not normally make an offer for a place on an HNC course based on AS qualifications alone. Applicants studying on an Access to Higher Education course will need to achieve a Pass in their qualification in order to progress to an HNC.

Qualifications For a detailed breakdown of UCAS tariff points against all eligible qualifications for entry to Higher Education courses, visit the UCAS website at www.ucas.com.

International Students For specific details, please see our International Students section on page 39.

HNC Interactive Media

“

I chose to do an HNC as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit to a full three-year course. All the facilities have been excellent and we have access to the libraries on three campuses and have had guest speakers come in to give advice on the best way to get into the industry. The HNC is also very much like the industry at times, almost as if our teachers are our bosses – it really prepares you for the real world.

”

The College’s new Centre for Environmental Technologies is a great environment in which to study and has given me further insight into sustainable construction. I have good experience in the construction industry and want to achieve a Level 6 to enhance my opportunities with future employers. My ambition is to be either a site manager or a project manager.
