General Information

Each student has an individual programme which is prepared after consultation with the Dean of International Students. Students will go through an Orientation Programme in the first weeks of their first term.

The College expects students to have a hard-working attitude to academic programmes. We encourage participation in all areas of College life including leadership, cultural, sporting and outdoor education opportunities.
