Student Case Studies
Here's what a few of our students have said about Bournemouth & Poole College...Jean Christophe Mootoosamy, Mauritus
Simply one of the best experiences ever.
I've never been so comfortable in my studies, not even in my own country.
The tutors at The College are amazing - friendly and always ready to help and support you. The atmosphere is great!
Within 1 week I was already part of a big family.
Bournemouth is one of the most attractive towns in England, the people are welcoming and the weather is nice, especially in the summer. Recommended!!
Ha Sook Kim, South Korea
My course has been very suitable and I am to continue my studies at Bournemouth University with a BA in Business Information Systems Management. I have enjoyed my study experience at The College and would like to thank my tutors who have provided a great deal of support.
Bournemouth is a great place to live, with the good weather, beaches and the New Forest. I have felt very safe during my time in Bournemouth, one of the reasons why I have chosen to continue my studies here.
Wajdi Alnatsha, Palestine
Being in England is a wonderful experience. I've made a lot of friends, some from England and some from other countries.
I have the opportunity to share my time and my culture with them, also to learn about their culture. Moreover, I improve my English Language Skills.
I think The College is the best place to start higher education. The teachers are very nice and very helpful.
Duygu Cevik, Turkey
I very much enjoyed my course at The College, especially the Film Studies element. The tutors on my course were really helpful and supportive.
The course helped me make a decision regarding my future studies and I will be going on to Southampton Institute to study a BA in Media with Cultural Studies, then on to complete a Masters.
I really like living in Bournemouth and plan to stay in Bournemouth and travel to Southampton to attend my course.
Wendy Wei, China
Coming to England from China to continue my education has been one of the best things I have ever done. It takes a little getting used to at first, with the differences in culture, language and lifestyle, but Bournemouth is such a multi-national place now that it doesn’t take long to make new friends as well as meeting people from your own country.
The College does everything it can to make you feel welcome, from setting you up with a host family to making sure you are coping with the College environment. If you need extra help with the language then this can be arranged for you - you only have to ask!
There is a good mixture of ages and nationalities at The College which makes it an exciting place to study. The tutors offer support whenever you need it and the staff in the International office are riendly and approachable. They want you to feel as if you belong and this has really given me the confidence to do well at my studies.
I have made many good friends through The College and I shall look back fondly at my time here."
Wendy is now studying Economics at Warwick University after having completed her A levels at The College.
Oswaldo Jose Pacheco Useche, Venezuela
I came originally to The College to study English Language. Before I had studied at a private language school and when I joined The College I realised that this type of learning environment was definitely for me. As I have always been very interested in Tourism coming from a country withoutstanding natural beauty, I decided to study the City & Guilds 4865 Diploma in International Tourism.
At the end of my course I will return to Venezuela to attend University to study dentistry.
My teachers at college are excellent and have certainly added to enriching my experience of studying in the UK.
Ji Yeong Lee, South Korea
At first I found it hard to study in English, but I have had alot of help from my tutor and from learning support.
I am really enjoying studying in England and have found the experience very enjoyable. I am hoping to continue with my English studies and also take the level 3 course in floristry. In the future I hope to teach floristry at home in Korea.
Alisher Dadakuziev, Russia
I enjoyed my stay at The College which was very different from school. No one pushes or forces you into studying, so the responsibility and hard work is your own self-motivation, but the teachers are always there and are very helpful.
The support I received helped me adapt very quickly to life in the UK. I've developed time management and study skills and really improved my English Language.
It has been an excellent preparation to university and a great way to make new friends from around the world.
Wajdi Alnatsha, Palestine
I chose The College because it has a strong reputation for its business courses. There are excellent facilities and Bournemouth is a wonderful part of England.
This course has helped me improve both my business and English skills and I learnt a lot of useful techniques that I can use when I return to my country to work with my father in his companies. Moreover, I have had a great time with my friends at The College and I will miss them all.
Jeong-Kyu Choi, South Korea
During my studies at The College I have improved my confidence and skills to start a new career. I have gained experience of other cultures and started to look at the global picture.
The whole experience has helped me grow as a person, including improving my interpersonal skills. I now have the ambition to become a professional chef.
Mo Ran Li, China
I have studied at The College and at a language school to improve my English. I am really enjoying my time at The College and I'm looking forward to the second year of this course.
The course is very professional and I hope to work in management at a high quality hotel or maybe open my own restaurant.
