The Bournemouth and Poole College is a good place to study International Access to University Science course. The teachers were always very helpful to me. As one of the International students it was fairly hard for me to get accustomed to the UK education system. Each time when I finished my subjects, I was always being welcomed to ask questions and share what I knew. With the teachers’ help, guidance and patience, I was able to achieve great results with enough credits to get into Bristol University to study Pharmacy.
By studying the Bournemouth and Poole College programme it was possible to gain enough credits to meet the entry requirements of different top-ranking UK universities.
