Castle College of Nottingham
ABOUT CASTLE COLLEGE OF NOTTINGHAM :
On 1st June 2006, Broxtowe College and The People's College Nottingham united as one super-college to offer bigger and better facilities for students.
The two Colleges between them already serve the city, east and west side of the conurbation and with this merger the new and improved college will be able to offer the best quality teaching and improved value for money from their major campuses in the City, Carlton Road, Highfields, Beeston and Stapleford.
INTERNATIONAL :
Broxtowe College Nottingham has recently merged with The People's College Nottingham, and the college is now called: Castle College Nottingham. They are confident that the change to Castle College Nottingham will allow them to build on their excellent reputation and further enhance the service they provide to international students.
WHY CHOOSES CASTLE COLLEGE NOTTINGHAM:
Castle College Nottingham is part of the UK's state-funded education system. The People's College was established in 1846, with Broxtowe College established later in 1949.
The college has a number of different campuses throughout the city of Nottingham and the surrounding area. Most international students are based in Beeston, which is to the west of the city of Nottingham, with a small number based in the city centre, at the People's Campus.
They are a member of the British Council's Education UK Partnership, and have been welcoming international students for over 25 years.
They have around 3,500 full-time students. 350 of these are international students from over 30 different countries.
They offer the widest possible range of courses, most of which allow you to progress to British university degrees.
The college is closely linked to the University of Nottingham and we offer International Foundation Programmes developed in association with the University.
They have partnership arrangements with several other universities, who will accept our courses for progression to their degree courses. These include: Aston, Bath, De Montfort, Exeter, Keele, Loughborough, Newcastle, Nottingham Trent and Oxford Brookes. However, students can apply to any university.
They are one of the top colleges sending international students to British universities (according to UCAS statistics).
In 2006 our international students progressed to 32 British universities.
They are one of the few colleges that has its own "halls of residence" style accommodation for international students.
They have a Student Support Team specifically for international students. The team includes support workers who are native speakers of a range of languages.
The college is a member of English UK and our EFL courses are accredited by the British Council.
ACCOMMODATION :
They have their own Accommodation Officers, who will help students to find suitable accommodation near to the campus at which students are based. They check all of their accommodation regularly to ensure it meets their required standards.
Mooregate House
This is a block of student flats, which opened in 2003. It is in central Beeston, next to the Middle Street Language Centre, about 10 minutes' walk from the Beeston Campus.
45 rooms are available in 3 blocks, which look out on to a courtyard area. Each "flat" has 5 private, single bedrooms with en-suite facilities (toilet, washbasin and shower).
