I became aware of the opportunity to go to a summer school at Cambridge and jumped at it – and fell in love with the course and the city.

One of the first things I did was sign up with the Honours Society at Burnley College. It’s a great way to get extra help applying to Oxbridge colleges.

About the course

Criminology

Dance

What do we mean by crime? How do experts and politicians explain crime and criminality? We tend to judge others’ behaviour by our moral principles – but these are not always consistent or based on accurate information. Criminology is the science or discipline that examines crime and criminal behaviour and the processes through which the justice system responds. Consider how we should deal with it in society. Draw on the research of sociologists, psychologists and legal scholars to examine the nature, causes and consequences of behaviour. This popular course will give you a sharp insight into the different types of crime.

Learn about key dance practitioners and internationally recognised dance companies within your theory sessions and study the work they have created.

Be a high-level music practitioner in control of your own career path with our exciting vocational course. Equivalent to 3 A Levels, this course provides a grounding for understanding modern music and the fast-moving industry surrounding it – while pushing you to the next level. Develop your raw talent into what you want to achieve. Choose your preferred genre of music whilst exploring a wide selection of relevant and interesting music and music technology related topics. This course is based on the practical skills of creating and performing music, while also gaining knowledge and understanding of the theory, technology, and industry practices in music. The course allows a great deal of freedom in the music you choose to perform and compose. The most employable individuals in this sector are adaptable and have a range of musical skills rather than just one specialism. For example, live music venues may seek live sound engineers that can also work with lighting and have the ability to repair and maintain equipment. Session musicians may be more in-demand if they can play multiple instruments across a range of genres and also have skills in musical direction. The Level 3 Extended Diploma in Music reflects these industry demands. It is an individualised qualification that also meets the needs of the music industry by delivering modules in grouped projects and blurring the boundaries between the disciplines. Year 1 is focussed on music skills development (performing as a musical ensemble, creating musical material and using music styles) whilst also understanding the music industry. Year 2 enables students to specialise in their chosen area of music by working on a collaborative music project whilst preparing for higher education and employment by developing a personal music profile.

WE’RE HERE ALL

I spent a great deal of time just talking to my future Tutors. I was really impressed by how thorough they were and what an in-depth knowledge they had of their subjects.

I was so impressed with everything on the Campus at the Open Evening. The facilities were really modern and impressive, particularly in Sport and Fitness.
