Welcome to The Bournemouth and Poole College

Teachers of The College are very kind and sophisticated to teach subjects. They always support us until we understand. I could learn the subjects in a very welcome study environment and find I am interested in the study here.

Bournemouth and Poole are very safe but also easy to access to the town centres. Also there are lots of international students in Bournemouth so I could make many international friends. I hope to become a nurse or a teacher and am planning to go to university.

I loved everything since I started 10 months ago. The teachers have been excellent, welcoming and friendly. The classes were well balanced with lots of opportunities to talk as well as study grammar. Teachers were good listeners and they tailored my course.  My host family has also been really good, they really make me feel like at home. A very supportive host mother and host father. I had a couple of other students in the house who were British so I improved my speaking a lot!

The Bournemouth and Poole College is a very good place to learn English. I chose Bournemouth because I knew I would get a real British experience and also because there is a moderate accent. When I finish I will come back to South Korea continuing in my current job but hoping I will move to an English speaking position so I can use all I have learnt here.

My experience at The Bournemouth and Poole College could not be better.

I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity that I was given. Study at Bournemouth and Poole College was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I highly believe it will improve a lot my career and professional skills.

I have studied Electronics at Bournemouth and Poole College. There are three main reasons why I chose The College. Firstly, there are well-experienced tutors as electronics specialists. Secondly, it is a very safe area to learn and live. Last but not least, both Bournemouth and Poole have absolutely beautiful beach.

I chose this course because it provides me education of electronics from the fundamentals to their application. As I did not have any background of an engineer it is truly suitable for me. I learned loads of electronics knowledge very good by not only normal lectures also using simulation software and CAD. On the beginning of my course, I could not speak well because education of the UK is quite different from Japan. Nevertheless, I could keep learning with all generous helps from my tutors. In addition, I could use the study support centre in the library to get my assignments checked.

I enjoyed life in Bournemouth and Poole. As The College runs some sports clubs I used to play football. And I would often go running and cycling to the beach. So this area is a wonderful location to do sports.

Furthermore, The College organises several type of events such as school trips. Particularly, I really had fantastic time in the International Student Day event which I could introduce culture of my country to students from other countries.

After this course, I would obtain an engineer occupation and in future I would be an electronics engineer who can be actively involved in international projects. I am really sure my future never be the same as the past.

Last, I would offer my heartfelt thanks for my wonderful tutors, the international staff and friends.

I am 22 years old and I am majoring in English and English Literature in Korea. Last term, I decided to go to The Bournemouth and Poole College in England. There are several reasons why I chose this place. First of all, I love Britain’s history, culture and even their attractive accent too! While I was in Korea, I didn’t have a lot of opportunities to learn about British English when I was in school. If you are Korean and say something in a British accent, I think almost everyone would look at you because most Koreans are exposed to American English. However, it doesn’t mean that Korean people hate British accent. Actually, they love it and want to pronounce that way.

Anyway, being in the United Kingdom I am fascinated by its rich and varied history, architecture and beautiful countryside and landscapes, particularly the North part. In addition, the public transportation such as the bus and rail systems are convenient and well-developed. Above everything, I was impressed by British people’s attitude (or manner) to disabled or old people. They are polite and always think about them especially in public places.

Bournemouth is a peaceful and safe place and there is the famous Bournemouth beach! In this College, there are various choices of courses. I think this system is helping students to design and build their future. When I took my first class in here, teachers helped me to getting used to this college system and suggest extra curriculum programmes such as sport activities or seminars. Teachers are attentive and caring about students all the time. Through teachers, you can learn about study skills, rules of writing essay or IELTS as well. Also, you could meet friends from many countries and get to know about another country’s custom and culture. From class, I learned not only language but also England’s culture, literature and even street words! The College arranged some trips for a cheap price and I visited Oxford, Thorpe Park and Devon. Now I feel like I want to know more about the UK and visit here at least one more time. That is my future plan but for now, I’m trying to do my best to figure out what kind of person I really want to be in my future. Hopefully, something related to what I have learned and achieved at The Bournemouth and Poole College.

It was a good experience because I learned a different make-up style than in Korea. It was good that the process was more important than the result. The people here were very kind and it was nice to be near the sea. I am hoping to have a career in retail back in Korea.

I am a student of Industrial Engineering in Colombia and am in the last year of my studies. I came here to learn English because it is really important in your life to find a good job. Now I am thinking to make my Masters here in the UK because at the moment I feel good when I try to speak or read English.

The teachers at The College are really nice, they help you in all that you need and your classmates are friendly. Every day I feel that the best place to study in Bournemouth is The College, I feel that I can understand better than when I arrived in the UK, I really feel I am learning well. Bournemouth is a beautiful place, sunny and has a beautiful beach, I really enjoy this town.

All teachers were professional and very good at their job because they like teaching. As always they are very patient and never say ‘never’! Because of their positive motivation I can understand how many steps I jumped up. If I have a great IELTS result my plan will be to apply for PhD in my country and the topic will be Human Rights Studies.

Quite frankly I have not any bad memories from the British and other nationalities such as discrimination or any prejudice. Mostly people are open minded and very warm for foreigners. I am sure I will really miss respectful and smiling faces.

I came to the UK to develop my English Level from conversational to fluent in order to achieve a better position in my work.

Before I can to the UK, I was indecisive because sometimes we are involved in our daily routine instead of taking challenges. Today I am grateful to have had the opportunity to study in the UK and The College has given me many new meaningful experiences. First of all the environment is totally suitable to improve my level of English. The College has created classes with students of many nationalities which is extremely interesting. Furthermore, my teacher is so committed to us, she always encourages me with my homework which is focused on my interest as a student but also on my main career as a Social Communicator.

I just want to say many thanks for giving me so much learning in terms of knowledge, and the splendid life experience. Living in Bournemouth is like living in paradise. The atmosphere is quiet, the beach is amazing and the remarkable thing is that people are always happy to help you. Why wouldn’t everyone enjoy this gorgeous place! Bournemouth is surrounded by many great villages and also near to London. I am totally confident that I can recommend to everyone this study destination. You won’t regret it, ever!

The private tutoring provided by The Bournemouth and Poole College was exceptional, tailored to my personal needs as it addressed my weaknesses directly and, finally, was of utmost importance for me succeeding in the exams.

I am glad I had the chance to be a student at The College and I would definitely recommend it to anyone going for the OET certification.
