Blackburn college is a fantastic opportunity to further your career prospects, meet new people and enjoy learning. I have no regrets whatsoever and as a mature student it has given me valuable knowledge in IT skills I thought I could never have.

Clean, welcoming with adequate facilities and a great library

The academic tutors have always been available to talk to and have been empathetic and encouraging.

It is incredibly versatile for single working mums like myself as it provides excellent prospects of furthering my career whilst still being able to work part-time and look after my family. The lecturers are incredibly dedicated and supportive and really go the extra mile in encouraging and mentoring students to achieve good grades. I have enjoyed every bit of the course and my only regret is that it has passed too quickly

There are good opportunities with workshops, outside agencies and work placements

So far i have had an great experience. I have received more than enough support and i'm glad i made the choice and chose Blackburn university centre to study my degree. I have gone from having zero confidence in myself to being so proud of what i have achieved in such a sort time with the support of peers and the university.

Blackburn college and university both have fabulous facilities. they are all very easy to access. The food facilities have a massive variety of choice and this is reasonably prices. If you are have difficulties learning they have an easy access point for someone to speak to and to gain further support. There is always someone to talk to for support this could be home life or study life.

The academic support is fantastic, My first year of study i was nervous thinking i could not finish the year, without the support from my tutors i might have finished the course. The tutors have always been available to speak to and reply via email very quickly. During a pandemic the contact was there near 24/7. Personal support is also superbe, struggling with dyslexia the support i received and was able to feel comfortable contacting and speaking to someone about my feeling was great. If you have a family matter that is cousing a great deal of stress and feel you have no one to talk to there is an onsite councillor you can call and speak to or face to face meeting. A ll round great team. jhgkhdhc

The course is made fun by tutors activities within class that make you learn easily and everyone can get involved. i like that we have peer review to make sure your on the right track. There are no bad point for myself.
