I absolutely love the place and all it stands for. If I had my way, I would never leave! As a mature student, returning to education after an office based career, it has changed my life very much for the better. I have more confidence in myself and my own abilities than I have ever had. The course was not easy and I have never worked so hard on so many things at once, but all the hard work leads to huge satisfaction upon completion of it. A degree course is not for the faint hearted - you get out what you put in! I have nothing to compare Bishop Burton College with, I just know that I loved it and can’t wait to start my third year.

The facilities at Bishop Burton are fabulous. Everything I have needed has been available or alternatives found. The surroundings are beautiful, there are good places to eat, superb transport facilities at reasonable prices and a stacked library. The tutors are committed to providing their students with all they need to succeed.

Faultless. Everything is made available- if you need and ask for help, it is given, either by tutors or college counselling staff. All the staff I encountered just wanted to help students do the best they possibly could.

The best thing about how the course was taught was that the tutors were really interested and enthusiastic about their subjects. They also made time to go over the same information again and again if there was something I didn’t understand first time around.. There was always time to arrange a personal tutorial too. Creativity was always encouraged and applauded where necessary. There was nothing I didn’t like about the way the course was taught - I just felt lucky to be a part of it.

My degree course has been career focussed all the way through, whatever career choice is finally chosen. The Careers department is also available to give any extra advice.

An excellent experience of college based university. The staff from the start have been very supportive and helped in meeting my academic potential. The opportunities across the college have allowed me to take on theory and apply in work based settings. The knowledge and skills of the staff are exceptional.

A great variety of facilities to aid learning. Excellent opportunities to coach and observe academy football, rugby and netball.

Throughout my studies the tutor offered a supportive network which gave me confidence and the necessary skills to maximise my academic potential. The staff throughout the college are extremely professional and offer expert knowledge.

The delivery of a wide range of modules that offered insight and scope for future employment. Tutors designed lectures and seminars to maximise research and task-based skills. Very hands on to allow problem solving and independence.

A variety of internships that allowed us as students to gain a range of work experience. Tutors hold a wider range of applied knowledge and share experience which help in developing our employability skills.
