Special Winter Term 2009 – Apply Now!

admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 06:42:40 +0000

Special Winter Term 2009: Following the introduction of PBS, the British High Commission overseas have been flooded with applications for a student visa. It has caused significant delays for our students who were planning to join in the Sep/Oct term. To ensure that those students are not disadvantaged, the College has introduced this term to begin on the last week of October and end on the last week of January. Course length and number of tuition hours will not be affected due to this change. We now urge you to seize this opportunity and apply for your student visa the soonest.

Anglian College London and the Points Based System for International Student Visas

As part of the UK government’s changes to its immigration and visa systems called “the points based system”, any new or prospective students willing to come to study at Anglian will fall within a category commonly known as Tier 4. Therefore, if you wish to join us in the UK to study in a course or a programme and you need a Tier 4 (student) visa, you will need to be sponsored by us (Anglian College London). Because we have been given a sponsor’s licence for Tier 4 by the UK government, we will be able to sponsor you for your studies.

Anglian College London has been granted a Category A Sponsor’s Licence for Tier 4 (Students) within the Points Based System. Our Sponsor Licence Number (SLN) is Q630FRHV7.

If you have not paid before 18/06/09 (when the Terms of Application were amended), contact admissions urgently to see if the minimum deposit required may have changed. However, if you had made payment before that date, we will continue to issue you with the new ‘Visa Letter’. The ‘Visa Letter’ is a new form of ‘Admissions to Anglian College London’ letter which is now re-constructed to meet the requirements laid out by the UKBA e.g. SLN, CAS etc. We may also need to contact you for further details and documents, such as a copy of your passport, copies of your educational qualifications and bank statements to check that you are able to support yourself financially. Do not submit forged documents or their copies; we will find out.

Immigration policies in the UK are constantly changing these days. Please visit the following links for futher information and keep abreast of new developments:

Anglian College London Summer Party 2009

admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 22:52:56 +0000

London, 11/06/09
A party was organised here for the students and staff of Anglian College London to mark the end of Spring Academic Term and their efforts in teaching and learning over the past twelve months. The initiative was taken by the Administration Department with the help of various members of the Student Group. An educational trip around the historic town of Greenwich led by the Principal himself, who has been residing in the area for quite some time, followed by a long awaited Boat Party pre-arranged by Bish, Joe, Mandish, Radhika and others, were the attractions of the day. While sailing on the boat from Greenwich to Central London, the Principal took his moment to give a welcome speech, which was then followed by a free drink session offered by the College. A raffle draw was also held for the participants. The apex of the party came when the two times Gold Medalist and the longest ’serving’ student at the College, Prakash, was duly awarded a laptop by the Principal.

All students seemed very happy to let go the pressure of their exams and enjoy the event to its best. Betsy, Kazeem, Karuna, Noble, Lucy, Ajing Cao, Shuang, Sanjita, Ram, Hilda, Nellie, Naseem, Suresh, Harrison, Moses, Puskar and their friends ensured a lively environment of fun, dance and social interactions. In the end, it proved to be a highly successful social event for both the students and staff – something nice to be emulated by next year’s students.

Photos of the party are to be published on our website soon.

H1N1 Flu Pandemic ‘Still Likely’

admin — Sun, 03 May 2009 09:58:47 +0000

A global H1N1 flu pandemic is still expected, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned, despite the virus not spreading in a sustained way outside of the Americas.

At least 615 cases of the virus have been confirmed in 15 countries, but the majority remain in Mexico and the United States, WHO officials said on Saturday.

Costa Rica, Italy, and Ireland have become the latest countries to confirm cases of the virus, taking the total number of affected nations to 18.

Once again, we urge all Anglian College London students and ‘Friends of Anglian’ to remain extremely vigilant of the flu developments around them and take every precaution possible to avert the disease.

Point Based System, PSB – Student Visa to the UK

admin — Sun, 03 May 2009 00:30:02 +0000

From April 2009, all students who wish to study at Anglian College London, must apply uner the Point Based System (PBS), which requires prospective students to ensure that theyÂ are eligible forÂ 40 points.

Anglian College London will be the sponsor of a student who wishes to applyÂ for a student visa to study at Anglian College London. The College is, in the meantime, awaiting the Home Office licence that it applied for in March.

Message from the Anglian College London Principal, Dr A Durham, MA, PhD

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:48:47 +0000

Welcome to our website, with information about Anglian College London. Here you can browse through our courses, find out how to join us, and also learn about life in the UK and the College.

Anglian is a small college in a big city. So we understand that money does not grow on trees. We want to help you get the best possible education that you can afford. That means high quality teaching, good facilities, and competent administration â€“ all for reasonable fees.

At Anglian College we try to draw the best out of all our students, so they work effectively as well as hard, and so they gain knowledge as well as passing exams. Some of our programmes teach quite general skills, such as Business Studies and Information Technology. Others lead to more specific qualifications, such as the National Certificate in Dental Nursing.

Your life outside the classroom is important too. Anglian Collegeâ€™s location means that you will pay lower housing, living, and transport costs than in other parts of Greater London. Yet you will still be within easy range of central London if you need a part-time job. And of course you will have ready access to all the social life, free entertainment, and human diversity of one of the worldâ€™s greatest metropolitan areas.

Anthony Durham MA, PhD
Principal
