The College welfare team devote much of their
time to the care of overseas students who have recently arrived
in London and are still finding their feet. It might mean
helping a student to register with a doctor (overseas students
are entitled to health care under the national health service),
or finding an ethnic restaurant or a place of worship. Also,
there will be occasions when a student needs official documents,
in order to extend a student visa for example, or open a bank
account. If this is the case the welfare team will be happy
to help.
All in all it is the continuous aim of the College
to make its students feel at home, and to provide the pastoral
and administrative support that will allow them to concentrate
happily on their prime objective – to obtain a good
education in London and an internationally recognised qualification
to prove it.
Recreational Facilities
London has everything that a young person could desire. In
addition to the history and culture thay make the city so
unique, it also has the finest stores (possibly the best,
Selfridges, is directly opposite the College), the latest
fashions, the most vibrant music scene, and the best sporting
events to be found anywhere on the planet. It is simply impossible
to run out of things to do.
And to make sure that our new students make
the best of the leisure opportunities available to them we
provide them with membership of International Students House,
a social centre that specialises in providing social and leisure
facilities for young people who are new to London.
