Why study Higher Education in Somerset?

This is a good question, and obviously it is not for everyone. Some courses are not available here, we haven’t yet got a Taunton School of Dentistry or the Yeovil Veterinary College. But I thought that the following summary from Bridgwater College was quite appropriate. They use the SMART initials, which are normally about Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic and Time Bound targets to aim for in business but in a different way.

Bridgwater College used the initials to summarise the 5 major reasons why you should consider HE in Somerset and in particular at their college.

1. Save money from lower fees and accommodation costs
2. More personal attention from experienced tutors teaching smaller groups
3. Achieve a qualification from one of our five university partners
4. Receive more work experience, careers advice and personal support
5. Take a course full or part-time to suit you

Now whilst every FE college in Somerset cannot offer five university partners, the other points are worth considering. The link has more info http://www.bridgwater.ac.uk/news.php?fid=18
