Success Stories
"The small class sizes and close-knit college allowed me to connect with others, make friends, and grow as an individual without feeling overwhelmed or distracted. I must give credit to the incredible system of personal tutors who provided unwavering support and guidance throughout my college journey, whether it was academic or extracurricular concerns. It made me feel secure and confident as I embarked on this new chapter of living alone in a foreign country thousands of miles away from home."

"I got good IGCSEs but really did not do well in my AS exams last year. I am glad that I came to Â鶹¸ßÇå Birmingham and did the NCUK foundation programme. I was over the moon when I found out I will be going to study International Business, Finance and Economics at the University of Manchester this September. The teachers here at Â鶹¸ßÇå are so enthusiastic about working with you and getting the best out of you. I can see my tutor whenever I like; his door is always open. The course is really focussed and targeted on what you want to study at university. If you know what you want to do at university, NCUK at Â鶹¸ßÇå is the best decision you’ll ever make."

I think the small class sizes are very beneficial to the students."

Parent comment
“I would like to vouch that Â鶹¸ßÇå is a wonderful school. It recognizes that the kids who come to Â鶹¸ßÇåÌýare on discovery mode – thus crossing the age of 18 – where children view things differently and try to think that they can manage things/life in their own perspective. The boarding facilities offered, provide the security necessary for students to concentrate on academic studies and control their way of life. The students therefore,Ìýare cautious that somebody is looking after them and they are supposed to be responsible and excel in their studies. This is what a parent would look for in the first instance (security).ÌýThe model for Â鶹¸ßÇå of having a personal tutor for each student isÌýmagnificent. These tutors know the ability of their students and provide solutions to their needs academically.
For Takondwa, his tutor Ryan was like his role model. His personal touch had a big impact for his success. He provoked his inner ability to do things and realize that he can pass because Takondwa lacked self belief at the beginning of the course. He left Â鶹¸ßÇå with the zeal to work hard and he says Â鶹¸ßÇå has unlocked his potential. He is going to college with full of confidence to accomplish his studies with high grades.ÌýOn communication, Â鶹¸ßÇå gave us all information on Takondwa’s errands – especially school activities including those off the campus. This was important to those of us who are not living in UK.ÌýÂ鶹¸ßÇå is not well known to those living outside UK. For me, it was a privilege to know Â鶹¸ßÇå andÌýwould not hesitate to recommend any person to bring his/her child to Â鶹¸ßÇå. I certainly wish you and your staff all the best.” –ÌýLoudon (Takondwa’s father)
