Truro College aims to enrich the student
community experience by increasing the
number of overseas students studying
here in Cornwall. We welcome
applications from international students
of all ages and backgrounds.
Truro College is situated near the city
of
Truro in the county of Cornwall in
the far South West of the country (about
250 miles from London!)
It is a rural area of great beauty and
quite unlike the busy life of a major
city. There are many wonderful beaches
nearby and a wealth of tourist
attractions. Students find Truro an
exciting and welcoming place to live in,
with plenty of activities organised by
the College for students to get involved
in.
To study at Truro College you must have
a high standard of both written and
spoken English to enable you to cope
fully with the demands and requirements
of your course.
It may be possible for you to arrange an
English test in your home country such
as the IELTS test or other English as a
Foreign Language (EFL) tests or courses.
This will help us assess more easily
whether your English is of a suitably
high
standard. If you think you need to
refresh your English language skills
before starting your course, we can
organise a full-time English programme
for you through our Open Learning
Centres. You can find more information
on our website:
www.essentialenglish.co.uk
If you need any extra support with your
language during your course, we hold
a weekly class in English for Academic
Purposes (EAP) that can be included as
part of your studies. This class will
lead to a recognised International
English Language qualification from
Cambridge.
Extra support will be available with
language skills for students with
English as an additional language. We
understand that coming into a new and
unfamiliar country and culture can be
extremely daunting; the British
language, climate, food and social
behaviours may take some getting used
to. We strive to support you as best we
can to aid you in your transition.
The HE Student Support Assistant can
offer advice and guidance to do with
issues of Accommodation, Welfare and
Finance, as well as any other questions
or concerns.
The tuition fees and bursary are subject
to an annual review.
Fees for overseas students on Truro
College HE courses are currently £7,300
for Foundation Degrees, HNDs and Full
Degree programmes per year for the
academic year 2006/2007.
All International Students must apply
through the
UCAS system.
