London Churchill College have garnered praise for its academic delivery, but what differentiates it from other tuition providers is a certain contribution from students who wish to take control of the quality of their time here.
London Churchill College is praised by its students for the academic quality of its programme and lecturers, as proven by the very positive feedbacks from student surveys semester after semester. With highly rated lecturers, well-reviewed programme plans, as well as a very advanced and convenient virtual learning system in place, the quality of education here should come as no surprise. However if academic quality alone was a factor for students then a prospective student has the option of other qualified tuition providers in London's East End to study in an HND programme. What differentiates LCC from the competitors is that while excelling at the delivery of its courses, LCC is not content with just delivering outstanding education but aims to deliver an exceptional student experience. Students of LCC should not have just the academic matters to look forward to but should also enjoy the time at LCC between lectures and seminars. Basically, the college doesn't just want students to have the best of education in this college, but for them to have a great time while getting that top-class education. That is why LCC puts a great emphasis on student service. From a panel of administrative staff sitting to serve students at the front desk, to an out-ofoffice contact number open to students 24 hours a day, every day of the year including public holidays, LCC is committed to meet the need of students who choose to enrol here. Students are not just limited to lectures and seminars to prepare for their assignments, but they can take advantage of other facilities at hand; from specialised workshops to guest speakers giving valuable insights into key industries, we ensure that learners are equipped to make the best of their education and utilise them beyond their courses. It is not just at the college campus that London Churchill College delivers its distinctive student service, but the delivery of the service exceeds beyond the walls of the facilities. In the last term alone students from varying courses enjoyed trips to institutions and exhibitions relevant to their subjects of study. The Health and Social Care students benefitted from a trip to Highshore School of mixed need children, while the Hospitality Management students visited the ornate Restaurant Show in Earl's Court. The trips were not all about what they studied as students also enjoyed a trip to Oxford to enjoy the atmosphere of the university town as well as socialise with their friends on a day out. Back in the LCC campus in the same week students were competing in one of many pool competitions held that semester. All these extracurricular events made the period between September 2013 to December 2013 an eventful semester.
The delivery of the extracurricular activities, workshops, competitions, as well as this very publication itself where you are reading this article is only half of the ingredients making all these events and facilities work. The other half of the ingredients to make such events successful are the people who they are made for; the students. Without student participation all these events are redundant. In the short term the college barely makes any monetary gain from organising these events, parties, or competitions. The reason LCC invests so much money, time, and energy into the extra-curricular activities are solely for the experience of the students. We appreciate our students entrusting their future to LCC and we're grateful to them for giving 2 years of their lives to us. That is why we want to repay them not just by giving them a high quality education that they expect; but to ensure that we make the 2 years they give us as memorable as we can, and that can only be achieved by the students' participation. A baker can make the world's best breads but nobody will appreciate them if nobody takes the time to taste them. The same logic goes for events in a college where student participation is key. Despite the numbers of successful extracurricular events, there have also been a number of event cancellations due to low turnouts. We've had trips, workshops, and even competitions cancelled due to insufficient number of students signing up for those events. Regardless, the college's student welfare department is resilient and we continue to invest time and money into more events. While the college plays its part to ensure a valuable student experience for all, it is also crucial for students to understand that how their 2 years as an LCC student will pass depends significantly on themselves. Students have a choice; either to attend the minimum lectures and seminars required and leave the college with a diploma, or to make the most of their time at LCC by taking advantage of the day trips, competitions, or workshops we provide and leave with a diploma as well as a warm memory of 2 years well spent. After all, students have so much to benefit from these activities. It is of no coincidence that the highest achieving students we have are also the ones who have taken part in our workshops and trips, as witnessed in last year's Winter Extravaganza 2013 party. Therefore if students do wish to gain more than an education from LCC it is up to them on how they define their tenure at this college. We don't expect students to attend all the extracurricular events, but unless they attend at least one workshop, enter at least one competition to win a prize, or tag along with friends to at least one of the day trips, they are missing out from turning their education into an experience. London Churchill College has baked many breads for the students, all they have to do is to taste them and realise the treats at their disposal.
