The Bellerbys College Experience

…we are driven by the desire to help our students find their own path to a lifetime of success

A passion for student learning For over half a century Bellerbys College has provided peerless academic, administrative and pastoral support to international students hoping to succeed at UK universities and beyond. From academic aspirations to the simple day-to-day challenges of living in a new country, we understand the importance of every part of the student journey.

Pathways to Success Bellerbys College is about much more than just teaching – we are driven by the desire to help our students find their own path to a lifetime of success. We do this by focusing as much on the personal development of our students as we do on their academic results. How do we do this? Bellerbys truly understands the needs of our international students. Both academically and developmentally we support them every step of the way, and provide a secure environment where they can find their feet, acclimatise to life in the UK and truly excel in their studies. What can you expect from Bellerbys? • Extensive course choice • Experienced teaching staff • Unrivalled exam results • Successful alumni students • Strong and well established university relationships

University viewpoint: “ The University of Oxford is a world-leading institution and its students are amongst the best of their generation. Recently we selected one of Bellerbys’ A Level students who was an outstanding candidate and has emerged as the top student in his year in Engineering. In addition to being academically gifted, he has clearly had the benefit of an excellent preparation for University study.”

Dr Stephen Payne, University Lecturer in Engineering Science, University of Oxford

University viewpoint: “ Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world and one of the leading international academic institutions, ranked 1st in Britain and in Europe and regularly ranked among the top 4 or 5 universities in the world. We are very glad that Bellerbys have established the Bellerbys Scholarship to support an outstanding student from Vietnam to study at Gonville and Caius.” Sir Christopher Hum, Master of Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge, 2006-2012

Bellerbys alumni: professional high-flyers

Arslan Akanov from Kazakhstan studied Foundation at Bellerbys London and graduated to City University London to study BSc Economics. ‘ I am a Project Coordinator for Promo Group Communications, a consulting firm in Almaty. Bellerbys was a truly wonderful place to study – it provided a wonderful opportunity to study at one of the best universities in the UK.

Over the last 50 years thousands of Bellerbys students have won places at every university in Britain.

Before I came to London to start my Foundation programme, I knew very little about the British education system. Highly skilful Bellerbys teachers and staff guided me through the process of applying to different universities, provided their personal help and advice, and taught me things that I later found to be very useful not only in my university studies, but also at work.’

Many of our students have gone on to work for some of the most successful

companies in the world, whilst others are pursuing entrepreneurial success

Teacher’s viewpoint: ‘ When I teach I don’t just want our students to learn what is in text books – I like to introduce them to the rich world of Business in Oxford; encourage them to visit and listen to speakers at the Saïd Business School, the unique Oxford Business X enterprise competition and attend seminars by local businesses and talks from directors.’ Zelga Anderson, Head of Business, Bellerbys College Oxford 8 The Bellerbys College Experience: World-class teaching

From the use of e-portfolios in pre-GCSE classes to the use of mobile devices in language learning, (m-learning) Bellerbys uses the latest available technology to innovate classroom practice. In 2012, innovation focussed on developing an app to support vocabulary learning via a partnership with leading European universities under the EU Lifelong Learning programme.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without Bellerbys. The Bellerbys Foundation programme encourages students to learn in an interactive way, along with great support from the teachers who were always expecting more from me, as they knew I could achieve it.

→ Studysmart provides 24/7 online access to learning resources →P lease remember to bring your laptop with you Technology for Classrooms In the classroom we use interactive white boards that enable teachers to share online resources and software specifically designed for each individual subject.

Bellerbys helped me get an offer from my top choice university – LSE – because they genuinely care and made sure I was at the top of my game. I was pushed by my tutor to attend every lesson on time and in the end it all paid off. I especially have to mention my Politics teacher who went out of his way to help me prepare for my A2 exams.

36 Bellerbys College Programme Information: A Level graduate success

Bellerbys taught me how to deal with stress and study efficiently. The teachers are very professional. They teach not only what’s in textbooks but also from experience. With their help, I was fully prepared and confident when it came to exams. Bellerbys has offered me the opportunity to improve myself, to be mature and independent.

Good facilities at Bellerbys made it easier to focus and concentrate. As a student wanting to study engineering at university, physics and maths were the most important lessons, and good teachers in these two lessons helped me to achieve the grades I needed easier than I expected.

Universities ranked by The Times Good University Guide 2013

My experience in Bellerbys College Cambridge has helped me to adapt smoothly to university life. It has made me no stranger to discussions on academic topics and has boosted my confidence to be actively engaged in tutorial sessions and lectures.

Homestay accommodation If you want to live a relatively independent life, but still have a caring home environment, Homestay is ideal.

Homestay gives you the opportunity to

immerse yourself fully in UK culture and

to feel part of a family, eating meals and

sharing their lives to get a real experience

of British life. All Homestay accommodation is carefully chosen for the security and

friendliness it provides and we make regular visits to ensure you have everything you

need. We offer a choice of either single or shared rooms. All our hosts will warmly welcome you into their homes.

Included in all Homestay accommodation • Fully equipped study bedroom, including desk and wardrobe • Breakfast and evening meal from Monday to Friday with a breakfast and main meal (lunch or dinner) at weekends • Telephone access • Weekly laundry Homestay Extra Homestay extra retains all the benefits of the homestay experience detailed above, but offers the additional feature to the student of a private bathroom.

Homestay Plus – under 16 If you are under 16 years of age, you will be automatically registered for Homestay Plus. (Note: Homestay is only available in London to students who are 16 years old or above). This gives extra support and higher levels of personal supervision. A detailed care

plan will be prepared for you, focusing on class, personal study and curfew times as well as dietary and medical issues. A copy

of the care plan will be sent to your parents/ guardians, so they know you’re in good

hands. Homestay Plus gives extra pastoral care, liaising regularly with the college, and giving extra support to you when you need it.

Sharing You have an option to share your room with another student. Many students find this a very good way to ease the transition of living away from home. They often find it easier to settle in, and benefit from making friends with their new room-mate. Location We aim to place you in Homestays that are as close to our centres as possible. However in some cases, this may involve some travel to the centre, usually by bus or train. This a great way to see more of the city you’re living in.

Homestay gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in UK culture and to feel part of a family, eating meals and sharing their lives to get a real experience of British life.

All payments (except for the enrolment fee) are refundable in the event that a student is unable to meet visa entry requirements, subject to receipt of an official visa rejection letter. No refunds will be given in the cases where fraudulent visa documents have been submitted or serious error or negligence has taken place in the visa application process. All Offers are made subject to availability. To hold your place until the fee deadline, we need to receive your confirmation payment. To secure your place, we need to receive fees as per Terms and Conditions. Non-payment by the fee deadline may put your place at risk. When a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies, hereinafter referred to as ‘CAS’ is requested a minimum payment of £3,000 is required in addition to the deposit already paid, in order for the CAS to be issued. (Please note in some cases you may be required to pay the 1st term’s tuition and accommodation fees or more at this stage). In the event of an official visa rejection, only one further CAS will be issued in support of a second and final visa application. Full fees, or fees covering the first full year of study of longer courses, must be paid in advance for a second CAS to be issued. The College reserves the right not to issue a second CAS if it deems the risk of visa rejection too great.

Cancellation and refund policy

The following charges apply for courses cancelled before arrival in the UK where a CAS has not been issued or is not required:

Cancellation Fee

8 weeks or more before the course start date: £500 + £150 non-refundable enrolment fee Less than 8 weeks before the course start date: £1,000 + £150 non-refundable enrolment fee Where a CAS has been issued, please refer to our Refund Policy which can be found at bellerbys.com Cancellations must be made in writing and the period of cancellation applies only from the date upon which the College receives the written notice of cancellation. If cancelling the course, students must also confirm if they are cancelling StudyCare insurance. No refund will be given where a student obtained a valid Visa for the intended course of study and is cancelling with no exceptional circumstances or where a Visa application was refused due to severe negligence on student/agent’s part, such as: • Student submitting fraudulent documentation (as viewed by UKBA) • Student unable to communicate with the visa officer on the level of their SELT/Approved English test • Student failing to submit a full/correct pack of supporting documents for their visa application, including correct financial statements or originals of supporting documentation To view full Refund Policy document, please visit bellerbys.com

Tuition and accommodation fees

Termly payment will be subject to any increase in tuition or accommodation fees which may be announced during the course. Reasonable efforts are always made to keep fees to the minimum that is consistent with the provision of a modern and efficient teaching programme. However, fee increases may become necessary from time to time in order to maintain standards and will become effective immediately they are notified to parents. The course fees are payable termly. If payments become overdue, the College reserves the right to suspend or cancel tuition and /or to charge interest on the balance at the rate of 2% above the base rate of NatWest bank per month or part thereof. Fees remain payable if Notice of Withdrawal has not been given in accordance with these conditions. Please note that although students may leave College after their examinations in November or June, tuition and accommodation fees will not be reduced or refunded.

Provision of tuition

If a particular subject is under-subscribed, the College reserves the right to provide a smaller number of hours’ tuition or private tuition for the same fee or by giving one terms written notice to either change or end the course. The College may give one term’s written notice to either change or end a course without refund in the event of any circumstance arising or occurring which the College at its reasonable discretion deems to necessitate such action.

Would you like to join the Pre-Medical school group?

If the application is accepted, a written Offer of a Place will be made. To accept this Offer a confirmation payment of £1650 is required comprising a non-refundable enrolment fee of £150, £1000 refundable security deposit and £500 in advanced fees. The deposit is primarily held against any damages and other incidental expenses, and if at the end of a course there are any monies left these can be offset against disbursements, otherwise an invoice will be issued for any damages/disbursements in excess of the deposit. Any monies left will be refunded within 90 days of completion of the final term less any deductions made for any amount outstanding at that time. No other refunds will be made.

Fees are payable termly, one month before term starts. For courses lasting less than 3 terms full payment is required prior to commencement of the course. Admission to classes is dependent on fees having been received by the college and cleared through the college’s bank account. Fees are subject to an increase a) each September, which is applicable to the subsequent academic year, or b) in exceptional circumstances at any other time.

Application and confirmation payment

Scholarships and Other Discounts

Poor performance or attendance or a change of course can lead to withdrawal of a scholarship or other discounts.

Academic criteria

Students who do not perform satisfactorily in their coursework will not be entered for external public examinations by the College. Students who do not yet meet university criteria for English Language proficiency will be expected to take an appropriate English Language course at the College. Students are accepted into the College on the strict understanding that progression through the course is conditional upon satisfactory and required attendance and successful attainment of prescribed performance targets. Students are formally assessed at least twice a year. The assessment will take into consideration: Course work; internal college examination results; attendance; effort in class and in homework; public examination potential. Students who do not meet the attainment criteria will not be allowed to proceed with their original course but will be offered an alternative course or invited to withdraw from the College without refund.

Criteria for the one year A Level course

The A Level course length is normally six terms (September start) or five terms (January or April start). Applications for the one year (three term) September start course are accepted only if: • Students have completed a year or more of study at degree level in their home country, or • Students are repeating the A Level course, or • Students can demonstrate an outstandingly high standard of work at High School level (to be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the principal). Students unsure of their qualifications should contact the Admissions Department for assessment. Students enrolled on a three term A Level course are accepted on the strict understanding that their progress will be reviewed at key stages including the end of the first term. The College reserves the right to require a longer course or change of course in light of that review.

Accident & medical insurance

It is necessary that all students have appropriate accident and medical insurance. Students must either take out our own StudyCare insurance policy or provide proof of adequate cover at enrolment. Cover under the StudyCare insurance policy does not commence until the insurance fees have been paid in full, which are non-refundable. Please ensure that you bring with you any relevant medical records, eg. immunisation records, that will assist local medical staff when treating you for any medical condition.

Withdrawal

Once a student has arrived in the UK, a minimum of one term’s notice (in writing) is required, or payment in lieu, whether or not the student continues to attend lessons. Students following the English Language Preparation courses are automatically enrolled to progress on to an academic programme. The student must therefore give the standard term’s notice if they do not wish to progress further at the College. If withdrawal is due to refusal of a visa extension then less notice may be accepted (at the College’s discretion) as long as full written details are provided before a course recommences. Students should be aware of the legal implications of their visa status should they decide to leave the college before completion of their course. Where withdrawal is due to illness, if the student has taken out our comprehensive StudyCare plan insurance scheme (details of which are available on request), subject to the terms of the scheme the student may be able to claim a refund. Notice of withdrawal must be given in writing and is effective from the date it is received by the College.

Colleges’ organisational policies

Each college has policies on admissions, bullying, child protection, curriculum, discipline, health & safety, promotion of good behaviour, sanctions in cases of bad behaviour, complaints and exclusions – these are available on request from the Principal of each college.

Accounts procedures Payments

Payment can be made to the College by cheque, Sterling bank draft, telegraphic transfer or credit card. Please ensure that the student’s name and customer reference are always included on the transfer document, indicating that the transfer is in respect of school fees. Bank charges and commission for both the sending and receiving banks should be paid by the sender of funds or they will be applied to the student’s account. Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 2%. There is a £1 surcharge for debit cards. Accounts communications will be sent both to the person responsible for paying the fees and to the student unless written instructions are received to the contrary. The company expects payment of all fees to be in sterling and encourages all customers to pay in £ sterling. Funds must be cleared through the college’s bank account before students can attend classes.

Changes of accommodation

No change to the type of accommodation arrangements will be made without the written permission of Student Services or the College Principal. This permission will only be given in exceptional circumstances. If a student makes a change to his/her accommodation arrangements or leaves accommodation provided by the College without the prior consent of the College Principal, the student shall remain liable for the full accommodation payments invoiced or reserved at the time of enrolment. One full term’s written notice must be given for students moving out of College accommodation by the student or their parent or guardian and where they are moving to private accommodation the parent or guardian must complete a disclaimer to that effect (local variations may apply). Students will be charged for the one term’s notice period whether or not he or she stays in the accommodation. Two weeks’ notice is required for a move between host families. Further details on our Code of Practice are as printed in the “Student Handbook” given to the students upon commencement of the course (local variations may apply).

Airport transfers

We will automatically arrange an airport transfer at the cost stated in the Prospectus for all students under the age of 18 unless specified otherwise on the application form.

Vacation accommodation

This is available to any student on request to the Accommodation Department. This is normally only available in Homestay families and the appropriate fee will be added to the student’s account.

Personal property

If our StudyCare insurance is taken out, any loss or damage to personal property which may occur while the student is living with a homestay family or at the College is covered within the terms of the policy.

Publicity

Students and their parents or guardians agree that the students’ images and sound, details and achievements may be used for promotional purposes without written consent or notification.

Effectiveness of the College Courses

Information about your performance in each of your end-of-year assessments during your undergraduate studies will be collected by the College from the university at which you study to be used by the College to analyse the long term effectiveness of its own courses. All information collected by the College from universities at which you subsequently study will only be used in accordance with UK data protection law. Any information provided to Bellerbys College (the “College”) may be held on computer and shall be used by the College in accordance with UK Data Protection law. Information provided to the College is held and processed for the purpose of administering your application and we may share your information with our offices around the world. This information may be carried forward to your official student record, which holds data in electronic and paper form on your personal details, academic and administrative history and on relevant financial transactions. Once you progress to a degree programme, the University is required to provide information to UK agencies including the Higher Education Statistics Agency. After you leave, the parts of your student record which the University needs to retain will be archived. Some information will also be processed for the purpose of managing our relationship with you as an alumnus. Other information will be destroyed. Throughout, your personal data will be held in accordance with current UK data protection law.

Liability

Refunds

Variation

Refunds will only be made to the person responsible for the fees unless written authorisation is provided to the contrary from that person. Refunds will be made within 90 days of the end of the relevant term. Refunds are made after calculating any damages or disbursements due, or any other incidental fees or charges.

Breakages, loss and damage

Students are responsible for payment for any damage caused by them to College property and household property of their homestay accommodation or College House, and should take particular care to respect furniture. Students in College House accommodation sign an inventory and laundry form for their room on arrival and departure. Occupants of the rooms are jointly and severally liable for the proper care of the room and the College reserves the right to recover costs for damage or exceptional cleaning from the student.

Accommodation

The College includes fees within its accommodation charges to cover the support and service to students in Homestay and College accommodation. College homestay families are instructed not to accept any payment directly or indirectly from any student. Similarly, students outside of the College’s accommodation service are prohibited from entering into any arrangement for accommodation with a College homestay. Students who break this rule render themselves subject to College discipline and charges will be levied to the student’s account on the basis that the student had been in College accommodation for the relevant period. If you miss your course start date for any reason we reserve the right to change your accommodation. However, if you pay the residential accommodation fee, for the shorter of a term or the length of the course, not less than 28 days before the course start date, your bed will be secured for you. If college residential accommodation is booked, should you defer your course to a future course start date and then cancel your course, a full term’s accommodation charge will be payable. If having reserved residential accommodation when booking your course, you immediately on arrival wish to move to private accommodation, an accommodation fee will be payable by you. That fee will be the residential accommodation charge for the shorter of a term or the length of the course.

Accommodation type

Students who will be under 16 on commencement of their course will be placed automatically with Homestay Plus families or in the appropriate College House accommodation and will be invoiced accordingly, for welfare and safety considerations. On enrolment, students are requested to indicate their accommodation preference. While the College will use its reasonable endeavours to provide the accommodation requested, the College is not bound to provide a specific type of accommodation and, if necessary, an alternative type of accommodation will be provided. Students will be invoiced for the type of accommodation requested on enrolment and if this subsequently proves to be unavailable, an appropriate credit will be given or an extra charge will be levied. If you miss your start date for any reason, we reserve the right to change your accommodation. Once the confirmation fee is paid, requested accommodation, if available, is reserved. If a term’s fees are not paid 28 days before term starts reserved accommodation will be released.

Outstanding A Level Success 50% of successful A Level students graduated

Any reference in these terms to liability of students shall also infer liability on the parents or guardian of the student, and such liability is joint and several. No variation to these conditions is valid unless agreed in writing by the Principal provided always that the College reserves the right to make any addition, amendment or alteration to these conditions upon giving one term’s written notice of such change to all affected parents guardians and students.

UK government bodies

Communication

General

Students who transfer to the College from other parts of Study Group must be aware that these Terms and Conditions automatically apply. These Terms and Conditions apply to all bookings now made for courses commencing in or after January 2013 and supersede all previously published Terms and Conditions.

Acceptance and Indemnity
