What do our students think of the course and Chichester College?
Ying comes from China and is on the Business Pathway and intends to study Business Administration at the University and then study Hotel Management in Switzerland.
“I studied A-levels in China but I researched this course and college and they are much better suited for my future in Business and Management. The course is very good and the teachers are nice and helpful if we have problems. There is much assignment-based work but my classmates are good and we help each other.”
“Chichester College is a fantastic place for international students when they first study in the UK. Facilities such as the sports centre are good and the gym is free and we can play basketball and football. The library is very good for quiet study and group study. I have lunch in Subway and cook for myself at night in Westgate Halls of Residence where I have my own room and toilet facilities.”
“Chichester has a nice, quiet atmosphere and is a good study environment with very good security.”
Hyunae comes from South Korea and is on the Business Pathway and intends to study Accounting and Finance at the University and then go on to do a Masters degree.
“My agent recommended this course and I am pleased that I came here as it is a very good course and there are a small number of students on it who are helpful and friendly. The course is intensive and I must work hard and am pushed to do my best. The teachers are helpful and kind and discuss our work and help us individually.
“The facilities are very good and better than other colleges. I use the library, Open Access Computer Centre, the gym and the Subway Shop where I can buy Korean snacks and food. I live in Westgate Halls of Residence on-campus and buy my own food which I can buy from a large supermarket nearby.”
“If you come here and work hard, you will succeed and get to the University of Bath.”
