Many lecturers have worked or are still employed in relevant professions and industries, bringing real world expertise and input to teaching programmes. We involve representatives from employers and professional bodies in the development and review of courses.

We have a very high number of students studying part-time for professional qualifications and we have contracts with several large organisations for training their staff. Employability, added value and the acquisition of transferable skills are an integral part of our courses. Employers are looking for graduates who can demonstrate good personal and communications skills and who can manage their time and work on their own initiative. We aim to help you develop these skills during your time at College.
