Adventure of a Lifetime

Every year about 20 students are selected to go on the adventure of a lifetime, which normally includes a community project and a safari or similar activity. In 2007 the adventure was in Tanzania, in 2008 it was Nepal and in 2009 we returned to Tanzania. Are you up for a challenge?

Fundraising

Get involved with Charity Week, which usually takes place in the autumn term, and other fundraisers. Recent charities have included Comic Relief and Cancer Research, with money raising activities such as beauty therapy treatments, car washing, cake sales and sumo wrestling.

Careers

The careers service can provide information and guidance before, during and at the end of your course. You can log on to computer programmes designed to find the career for you, research university and employment opportunities and get your questions answered about CVs, interview techniques and course transfers.

Tutorials

All students are supported by a personal tutor who will help you in developing your academic, professional and personal skills so that you are able to do your best on your chosen course. You see your personal tutor for group tutorials and on a regular one-to-one basis when you will create targeted plans to help you in your studies. They are also there for you on a drop in basis if you need any general advice or directing to the best source of help.

Additional Learning Support

The Additional Learning Support Team can provide a range of specialist services, equipment, resources and special exam arrangements. They can also advise you on applying for a Disabled Students Allowance (DSA). Let them know what you need so that they can make all reasonable adjustments to help you succeed.

Medical matters

If you have a medical condition which may affect your studies tell us about it on your application form so we can discuss it and any support you may need when you come for an interview. This information may help to assist your tutors. Medical advice should always be sought regarding health matters as Guildford College cannot advise how this may affect your course/time at College.

Religion

We welcome students from all denominations and offer support for a variety of faiths and cultures via the local community. The College Chaplain is also available for religious support.|
