Enhancement

As part of the Enhancement Programme students will participate in a dynamic Personal Development programme including Employability Skills, University preparation and a range of speakers from different careers; students also have the opportunity to follow additional accredited courses which range from Arts Award Gold, Duke of Edinburgh Award, NCS to LLS Coaching.

We promote industry and business challenges and students participate in competitions locally and nationally such as LEAP. Students involve themselves in voluntary work and the wider community and have raised thousands of pounds for charitable causes. They are also encouraged to access a range of opportunities to work towards achieving the nationally recognised V50 and V100 awards for volunteering.

Involvement in the programme ensures all students have opportunities to develop:

Initiative
Independence of mind and thought
Self-discipline
Sense of responsibility
Teamwork
Tolerance
Effective study management
