Community Degree-level Drop In Sessions

At B&FC, we’re all about making it as easy as possible to get you the help and information you need. That’s why we’re organising a series of community drop-in sessions at local libraries and community hubs for people who are interested in starting a degree-level qualification with us.

Our upcoming drop-in sessions are at the following times and venues:
You don’t need an appointment. You just need to bring yourself and whatever questions you want us to answer. You can find out about:

FINANCE – how to fund your course; what loans, bursaries and grants you might be entitled to; if you can work and study at the same time.

STUDY SUPPORT – what qualifications you’ll need to apply; what help you can access if you have a learning difference or disability; what support is available if it’s years since you were last in the classroom.

COURSE OPTIONS – how to choose the right degree to achieve your career goals; matching your skills and interests to the right programme; careers advice if you’re unsure.

There’s no pressure – just a chance to ask anything you want about our degrees at a time and place that’s easy for you.
