Advice & Guidance
There are well-qualified staff in Student Services to offer guidance and counselling services on any concerns you may have whilst you are at college, such as finance, careers, higher education and personal problems. Student Services deal with all sorts of enquiries and give advice on anything from bus passes to student grants, timetables to lost property.
A team of Education and Careers Advisers provide ongoing support to all students wishing to pursue higher education or employment. Trained Advisors work with you to advise on University or job opportunities and help you complete UCAS forms, write personal statements and develop your CV. We also have an Aimhigher Learning Mentor who is here to give extra support to the College's Gifted and Talented students.
Student Forum
We encourage communication between students and staff through the Student Forum. They meets to discuss student issues, and a representative from each tutor group attends to bring these to the attention of College Managers.

- A well-stocked Careers Library
- Information on Universities and Finance
- Careers computer software
