Studying with us
 

At Burlington College, we want students to find their time with us as enjoyable and profitable as possible. We aim to provide the highest quality services and facilities to ensure that students gain every advantage in life. Our range of services and facilities includes:

Careers Service
The Careers Service offers a free range of services including career counselling and advice. The Student Welfare Officer is always available to discuss progress and provide the information necessary for students to make the right decisions. There is a Careers Fair each year at which students get the opportunity to meet each others parents to discuss the world of work to further help them make the right choices.

Individual Learning Plans
An Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is available for each student at Burlington.
Students benefit from carefully compiled and effectively used ILPs. They are produced after a comprehensive initial assessment of students' potential and reflect genuine individual starting points for each learner. Plans include learning targets which are challenging but achievable. The subsequent training is well planned to meet students' individual needs. There are regular progress review meetings at which students' plans can be changed if appropriate.

UCAS Advisory Service
The completion of an attractive UCAS form is the second most important factor in securing a place at your chosen University, only behind exam results. The staff at Burlington College can give you the benefit of their experience and advice in ensuring that you present yourself in the best possible light. Each student is advised on the selection of Universities and Courses and given as much help as they need on drafting their personal statement, something many students find a daunting prospect. At Burlington College we are experts in the University admissions procedure and no effort is spared in helping the students fulfil their ambitions.

Computer laboratories
The College also has fully equipped computer laboratories with the most up to date hardware and software. Students have personal access to the laboratories and can use the full range of software we have available. In addition the laboratories are used to word process student's assignments and provide fast monitored access to the Internet and email.

Sports Facilities
At Burlington College we understand the importance of balancing work commitments with other past times and encourage students to join our thriving sports teams. Six a side football is played year round and the matches against other Colleges from the David Game Educational group are always popular, as is the traditional staff - student match that follows the June examination session. For those that don’t follow football there is also the possibility to play for the cricket team or even to form a team of your own.

Other Activities
At Burlington College we assist students in pursuing any worthwhile activity. The business-minded may choose to join Young Enterprise and The Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme is also encouraged.
