University Studies Abroad
The growth of the College in the last decade has been
phenomenal, and the consequent addition of Hannah House, formerly the management
training HQ of Marks and Spencer PLC, ensures that our students have a spacious
and versatile learning environment.
Hannah House is home to a new library and learning
resource centre, a thirty terminal internet cafe which boosts the college
internet access to over 100 terminals, a subsidised restaurant, many more
classrooms and, significantly, a new language school will allow the College to
recruit students from countries whose citizens are not native speakers of
English, by providing language training that can either be taken in advance of a
degree programme or simultaneously.
With the twin sites being only a short walk apart it is
easy for staff and students to move from one building to another, and with the
contribution of the social, leisure and sporting facilities at International
Students House and the residential accommodation of the London Hostel
Association, the College is now able to offer its students an authentic
inner-city 'on-campus' experience.
The Student Facilities
With the addition of Hannah House the College now has twenty
air-conditioned classrooms complete with whiteboards and digital projectors
(which are linked to the College computer network), two computer rooms equipped
with the latest flat-screen technology, an extensive library with full time
librarian, language lab and computer terminals for electronic learning, an
internet cafe, a subsidised restaurant and, on the top floor of Parliament
House, a student services and resource centre with private-study facilities and
student common room.
The Courses
All
courses follow the requirements of the relevant UK
examination
authorities and lead to qualifications awarded by professional bodies or
degrees
awarded by British Universities. Each course has been carefully selected
for its
relevance to commerce and industry and for its international recognition
as
evidence of professional competence.
The Teaching
Students
entering the College enjoy every practical incentive
to succeed. WLC is staffed by tutors of the highest quality and all
students
have access to an impressive range of specialist teaching aids including
audio-visual equipment and modern computer facilities. Lecturers are
chosen not
just for their technical skills but also for their ability to impart
their
knowledge to others. They are entertaining and friendly, and always do
their
best to ensure that the course is as enjoyable as possible. In such a
progressive environment students discover a new interest in learning,
and new
outlets for their natural potential.
The Students
With over 1000 new students each year, mostly aged between 18
and 25, from over 100 countries around the world, West London
College is a truly international environment.
