World-Class Teaching

Many Bellerbys students have gone on to earn fi rst-class honours degrees at some of Britain’s top universities.

We hire only the best teachers and invest in developing their skills so our students can maximise the benefi t of their time at Bellerbys. Lessons are motivating, enjoyable and results-focused and Bellerbys teaching staff are consistently praised for outstanding quality by current and former students, as well as by many universities.

This specialist team of e-learning teachers provides training and support to their colleagues across the curriculum.

In 2011, innovation focussed on partnership with leading European universities under the EU Lifelong Learning programme.

Perfect Preparation for UniversityIndependent study skills are important for success at university and using an online Learning Management System is a key part of studying at university.

If you were studying A Levels your day might include…

Bellerbys has helped me to become an independent and confi dent person who is not afraid of diffi culties and ready to work hard in order to reach my goals.

The afternoon might see you concentrating on your coursework, perhaps in one of Bellerbys brand new science labs or art rooms. Regular study periods are a good time to be creative and get things done.

Once your academic day is over, you can get involved in an activity such as dancing, music club or sport. Then, the evening is yours: why not head out with friends before coming back to the canteen for a delicious dinner!

The day begins with an energising breakfast in the canteen where you will fi nd a wide variety of healthy options to suit all diets and tastes. You will also be able to socialise with friends ahead of starting your busy timetable.

After breakfast lessons begin, which you will fi nd demanding yet rewarding. The state-of-the-art technology in every classroom, including interactive whiteboards, and world class teaching makes classes really interesting. You can catch up with classmates in the college common areas during your break at 11am.

Bellerbys College boasts an array of extra curricular clubs and activities across all of its centres. Students are encouraged to have fun and reach their potential as these clubs go on to achieve success in their fi eld.

Sample Activities:

‘Bellerbys London Got Talent’ is a talent competition arranged by the college enabling students to get together for an evening of fun and enjoyment. It is a huge success with spectacular displays in front of a live audience made up of teachers and students alike.

Bellerbys Cambridge Debating team has had a productive 2011. They achieved second place in the Cambridge University Union Society Debating Competition and played host to an MP, who was invited to the school to take part in a discussion covering issues such as immigration and the current recession.

This autumn, Bellerbys Oxford students began a new project based around 'Dragons' Den'. Students have already attended an event at the Saïd Business School and are currently working towards pitching a new idea to a business panel next Spring.

As well as all the clubs and activities on offer, Bellerbys encourages students to experience the work place environment through trips and visits. This year Bellerbys students visited HSBC in Canary Wharf as part of the ‘Young Enterprise’ initiative, a charter that calls on business, government and educators to help every young person succeed. Students spent the day learning the intricacies of the banking industry and spent time with banking professionals.

Students were also invited to visit BP to learn about the BP business model, where they attended a presentation and were shown around the different departments.

The day fi nished with a Q&A session. Information on the event can be found at bellerbys.com/english/locations/london_news.aspx

Bellerbys Brighton started the new academic year with an exciting array of sport and fi tness activities. Offering a yoga class, a table tennis club and a variety of dance, including Salsa and Zumba, the programme has proved popular, with over 200 students in attendance.

Homestay

HomestayIf you want to live a relatively independent life, but still have a caring home environment, Homestay is ideal.

Homestay gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the UK culture and to feel part of a family, eating meals with them, and sharing their lives to get a real experience of British life. All Homestay accommodation is carefully chosen for the security and friendliness it provides and we make regular visits to ensure you have everything you need. We offer a choice of either single or shared rooms. All our hosts will warmly welcome you into their homes.

Included in all Homestay accommodation• Fully equipped study bedroom, including

desk and wardrobe• Breakfast and evening meal from Monday

to Friday with a breakfast and main meal (lunch or dinner) at weekends

• Telephone access• Weekly laundry.

Homestay ExtraHomestay extra retains all the benefits of the homestay experience detailed above, but offers the additional feature to the student of a private bathroom.

Homestay Plus – under 16If you are under 16 years of age, you will be automatically registered for Homestay Plus.(Note: Homestay is only available in London to students who are 16 years old or above).

This gives extra support and higher levels of personal supervision. A detailed care plan will be prepared for you, focusing on class, personal study and curfew times as well as dietary and medical issues. A copy of the care plan will be sent to your parents/guardians, so they know you’re in good hands. Homestay Plus gives extra pastoral care, liaising regularly with the college, and giving extra support to you when you need it.

SharingYou have an option to share your room with another student. Many students find this a very good way to ease the transition of living away from home. They often find it easier to settle in, and benefit from making friends with their new room-mate.

LocationWe aim to place you in Homestays that are as close to our centres as possible. However in some cases, this may involve some travel to the centre, usually by bus or train. This a great way to see more of the city you’re living in.

Your application needs to include copies of all your relevant academic transcripts, certifi cates of English language qualifi cations, passport copy and references (where applicable). After carefully reviewing your application, if you are successful we will send you a formal offer of a place. Once we have received your confi rmation payment, we will send you a Confi rmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), which is a visa requirement, together with your accommodation details (usually only sent on receipt of arrival details).

Applying for your VisaYour student visa application can take some time to be processed. That’s why it’s good to plan ahead in preparation for your intended study start date.

We would advise, as a guide, that you allow up to a month for your visa application to go through.
