ACCOMMODATION
In
addition to tuition fees, you will be required to show to UK Immigration
authorities you have the ability to be able to support yourself without the need
to work. If anyone in the UK, a friend or relative, is to sponsoring you and
will provide you with anything of value, such as free accommodation, then you
should ask them to send you a letter stating their offer of support to you. (If
your sponsor wants advice on this, ask them to ring the college for an
appointment.) You will need to provide evidence that you have access to funds of
£600 per month for living expenses. You will be expected to pay for
accommodation, food, travel, books and learning materials, and any professional
body exam registration and exam fees.
HOW DO I
DECIDE WHICH CAREER IS RIGHT FOR ME?
London College of Science and Technology has
introduced several new programs to complement its well established
business-oriented diplomas and certificates. These choices give students a wide
variety of options for their future career. Students should determine where
their aptitudes and capabilities are and then meet with a college representative
to discuss alternative program options. Students can then select the field that
will satisfy their interests and allow them to achieve their personal goals.
HOW OFTEN DO PROGRAMS START?
Enrolment for any traditional Academy
Integrated Learning System program is continuous, which means that individual
courses start every day. This allows students to begin their studies
immediately. Selected specialized programs do have established start dates due
to classroom set-ups for lecturing purposes. Start dates are woven into
students' schedules to maximize the efficient use of their time and combine the
classroom with the more independent Academy method of instruction.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY COURSES?
Courses may be paid for on an individual
basis or by pre-payment of the total amount of the selected program. Selected
courses qualify for career loans to qualified students. Tuition are spaced
across the term time for convenience.
WHAT ARE THE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS?
Admission requirements include a GCSE or
equivalent or Mature student status. In addition, a satisfactory command of the
English language and the ability to work with the Integrated Learning System are
necessary. Additional requirements may also be necessary for certain specialized
programs. All applicants must attend an initial interview process and receive a
positive recommendation from the College Director. Foreign students must obtain
a student Visa from their home country embassies.
I WORK
PART-TIME. ARE THE COURSE HOURS FLEXIBLE?
Our Integrated Learning System gives students the freedom to customize their
schedules to suit other factors in their lives. Flex-time scheduling allows each
individual to choose the most convenient times to learn, including weekdays,
evenings and Saturdays, subject to workstation availability and college hours of
operation. Selected specialized diploma programs do have set hours for a certain
portion of the program, which are instructor-led. This means that some course
hours are fixed. College representatives can provide you with more information
on these programs.
