East Kent College Cabinet 21 January 2015 Supplementary Information – Item 9 SUBJECT: East Kent College • SDC’s Cabinet agreed at the 17th April 2013 meeting to set up an earmarked reserve of £500k to assist with the development of Further Education and Higher Education in Shepway. This was also agreed by Council at the 20 th November 2013 meeting. • In February 2014 East Kent College was announced as the preferred bidder to take over both the Folkestone and Dover sites of K College. Since then they have embarked on an ambitious expansion programme of redevelopment to bring enhanced learning opportunities to the communities of Shepway. • Phase 1 of the redevelopment of the Shorncliffe Road campus is currently underway at a total cost of £4.4million. Shepway Council’s £500,000 will contribute to this, with the remainder coming from the Skills Funding Agency’s College Capital Investment Fund (announced March 2014). • The Phase 1 redevelopment will deliver : a new learning and disability centre ; a new performing arts academy to provide new course provision; new catering and hospitality provision, including a training restaurant and bistro open to members of the community; the Edge which is a new digital media and creative centre; an extension to the existing construction centre to offer a wider range of courses; and new beauty and therapies training facility. • Further phases of redevelopment are planned over the next few years with funding to come from the College’s own funds and borrowing and from bids to future FE capital funding expected to come forward via the SE LEP. • The College’s ambition is to more than double current student numbers from 350 at the Folkestone campus to 750 by 2016/17 and they are well underway to achieve this target. • In Sept 2014 EKC introduced a number of new level 3 courses in the subject areas of: creative arts, construction & trades, early years, health & social care, beauty and therapies and catering & hospitality. From Sept 2015 higher level 4 courses will also be offered in these subject areas in conjunction with Canterbury Christ Church University. Initially these will be HNC/HNDs taught at the Folkestone Campus, with the final third year degree progression taught at CCCU’s own campus in Canterbury. • SDC and East Kent College will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalise our intent to work in close partnership to achieve common strategic objectives that will benefit the local community. Dr Katharine Harvey Head of Economic Development 20 th January 2015 .

  • Your Place at University – Student Guide
    Your Place at University Finding your way through the university application process A guide for Students Introduction Going to university is an exciting experience. However, the application process can be confusing, with so much information available and so many choices to make. This guide is not intended to provide step by step instructions on how to apply, but is instead a companion for you as you go through the application process. It aims to demystify some of the common areas of confusion and to help you avoid the pitfalls. Some students have to overcome significant barriers to reach university. Many universities view applications from these students in a positive way. They recognise that such applicants must have high levels of motivation and determination to achieve what they have achieved. In researching this guide we talked to staff in universities to understand what it is they really look for in potential students, as well as teachers and tutors in schools and colleges who support students through the process of applying to university. We have also held discussion groups with students who have gone through, or are getting ready to go through, the application process themselves. The key messages are clear: Research courses and universities thoroughly Apply early Make sure your application is the best that it can be We hope you find this guide useful and we wish you every success in your studies and future career.
