Where will I be studying?

The Weybridge campus is situated in pleasant surroundings amidst acres of woodland containing many species of rare trees, flora and fauna and located only a 10-minute walk from the town centre and the railway station. The style and quality of the building stock ranges from a Victorian mansion, once the country home of the Locke King family who were closely associated with the famous Brooklands racetrack during the early part of last century, to modern, purpose-built facilities completed in the past few years and development continues to the present day.

How is the course assessed?

The College designs and assesses the internal assessments while Pearson, the awarding body, sets and marks the external assessments.
