Why study at NUC?
NUC is different!
NUC is not one of the traditional, very large, higher education centres. Like the traditional centres, we pride ourselves on offering the highest standards of academic education but we offer much more.
At NUC you will:
- Learn in small, friendly, supportive groups. Your lecturers will know you, your aspirations, your ambitions and your abilities. A strong emphasis on seminars and individual tutorials ensures that you achieve and progress. You will always know what you have achieved and what you need to do to succeed.
- Be taught by lecturers with a wide range of experience, not only of their specialist subjects, but of the challenges and issues students face in their studies and in balancing those studies with the demands of life outside college.
- Be supported by dedicated, experienced, professional Student Learning Advisors. Trained to help you deal with any financial, domestic or educational challenge, they will make sure that you have any assistance you need to gain the maximum benefit from your course.
- Be offered a flexible course structure. We offer courses at family friendly hours, help students learn from home or by distance learning. We know our students are individuals, with individual needs and circumstances.
- Have access to the highest standard of teaching and learning resources. Our teaching rooms are bright, modern and fully equipped. Our innovative Flexes offer integrated learning environments that include the latest IT resources, study areas (general, group and silent), audio-visual facilities and printed materials. The Flexes allow you to access a huge range of HE resources and the professional and experienced staff of librarians and learning advisors will help you carry out research and make the best use of your study time.
- Join a vibrant and exciting college community. Newham College has a hugely diverse student body, with students from all over the world, from different backgrounds, of different ages, with different experiences and aspirations. It is difficult to imagine a more stimulating and inspiring environment in which to learn.
- Study in Stratford – the centre for the 2012 London Olympics and one of the most rapidly developing commercial and business centres in the UK. The world will be coming to Stratford in 2012 – and you could be there now!
