Case Study - Leah Barfield I used the grant from the Peterborough Educational Trust to buy a new camera which is more professional and advanced than my previous one. Having the new camera has opened up more opportunities such as working with Peterborough Council, photo shoots for clients, supporting a wedding photographer and even working with the red arrows. I have then used these experiences to build up my portfolio for my course - BTEC Level 3 Photography. I am half way through my two year course and aspire to go onto university and study photography at degree level. Building a strong portfolio will help me at university interviews and I can also use it to show potential clients in the future. How do I apply for an Advanced Learner Loan? • You will need an offer from the College, proof of identification, residency details and a funding letter provided by the College. Please ask for the funding letter from the Information Centre • Applications can be submitted online from June 2016 directly to the Student Loans Company: www.gov.uk/advanced-learning-loans Where can I find out more? • You can visit: www.gov.uk/advanced-learning-loans/ overview • Please come into our Information Centre for further help and advice about funding.

Our Apprenticeship team helps over 400 people like you into free or subsidised, work-based training with local employers each year and works hard to ensure that you are in the right job with the level of support that you need. What are Apprenticeships? An Apprenticeship is a job with a development programme designed by employers in the relevant sector. This allows apprentices to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience, along with functional and personal skills, required for their immediate job and future career. These are achieved through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off-the-job training and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. You, your employer and the College will agree an individual learning plan of what you are going to achieve and how. What hours will I work? You will be employed full-time (minimum of 30 hours per week). 12 Earn while you learn All apprentices must receive the appropriate national minimum wage. Apprenticeship National Minimum Wage rate does not apply to Higher Apprenticeships. If you are 19 or over when you start your training you will have to be on an Apprenticeship programme for a year before the national minimum wage will be applied and then it will be at a special rate. The Apprenticeship team at the College can help with this. What will I need? For some Apprenticeships, and to work with some employers, you will need specific GCSE passes or previous experience. You will also have an interview, where we look at your GCSE grades (actual or predicted), which will help us to decide on the best programme for you. Visit peterborough.ac.uk/ apprenticeships for our latest Apprenticeship vacancies What subjects can I do?

Having the confidence to apply for the job in the first place has come from tutors inspiring me to work hard so I can reap the rewards after my degree. The job position will allow me to experience a varied environment as I will be dealing with hundreds of tourists/visitors every day. I will be aiming to meet their different needs whilst remaining composed and presentable. This will test everything that I’ve learnt at University Centre Peterborough and I feel I am more than prepared to face the reality of the wider world when I complete my course.” 24 Courses for 2016/17 Business School • Accounting and Finance BSc (Hons) • Business Management BA (Hons) • Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management (CIPD) Arts and Social Sciences • Archaeology and Landscape History BA (Hons) • Criminology BA (Hons) • English Literature BA (Hons) • Multimedia Journalism BA (Hons) • Media Studies BA (Hons) • Performing Arts BA (Hons) • Psychosocial Studies BA (Hons) • Public Services FdA • Public Services Top-up BA (Hons) • Sociology BA (Hons) Science and Technology • Bioscience FdSc • Bioscience BSc (Hons) • Computer Science FdSc • Computing and Information Systems BSc (Hons) • Construction Management Top-up BSc (Hons) • Crime and Investigative Studies FdSc • Crime and Investigative Studies BSc (Hons) • Integrated Engineering Top-up BEng (Hons) • Sports Coaching and Physical Education BSc (Hons) • Early Years, Childcare and Education (Education focus) FdA • Education Top-up BA (Hons) If you would like further information about any of the courses we offer or if you are looking for advice and guidance on the best course for you, why not contact us at [email protected], call on 01223 675750 or visit www.ucp.ac.uk 25 Terms and Conditions Course costs and fees The cost of the whole course of study is stated in the prospectus. On some courses you are required to enter and pay for the examination and/or registration fee directly to the awarding body. In the event of default on any payments, the full balance will immediately become due. Where necessary any debt may be referred to the College’s agent for collection, which could incur a referral fee. Financial help and support Enrolling on a course of study lasting more than one year The Government guidelines regarding fees and financial assistance are complex and constantly changing. For up-to-date advice please contact one of our information advisers who will be able to help with any questions or concerns you may have. Please visit us in the Information Centre or call us on 0345 872 8722. How can I pay The College is delighted to be able to offer you a choice of how you pay your course fees. You may either pay your fees in full in one amount prior to the start of your course, or by paying one third of your fee before your course starts and the remaining amount in equal instalments. You may choose the number of instalments as long as the last instalment is paid 3 months before the end of your course.* The latter option is called the “FlexEd PayPlan” and is administered by a company called Oriel, trading as FlexEd. If you choose to pay in this way, your details will be forwarded to them. Instalments are offered for courses with fees over £350.00. There is an additional administration fee of £6 per instalment. For courses with fees below £350.00, payment will need to be made in full before your course starts. *This does not apply to those learners aged 19+ where the course they wish to enrol on is eligible for a ‘19+ Advanced Learning Loan’. Refunds In the unlikely event that the College has to cancel your course, we will refund your fees. The College does not refund monies if you choose to leave the course before completion and any outstanding instalments will remain due. A copy of the College’s refund policy is available on request. Enrolment Courses can fill up quickly and we do advise you enrol as early as possible to secure a place on your chosen course. You need to enrol before the start of your course and get your ID card in order for you to access the College. You won’t be admitted to classes until you have enrolled on your chosen course and paid the appropriate fee, except where fees are paid by employers, other authorities or by instalments through FlexEd. The fee quoted on the receipt is subject to verification and corrections will be notified. 26 All enrolments are for one year only, even though a course may be longer than one year. If your course of study is for more than one year, you will be required to pay the tuition fee for the whole course of study in the first year, unless otherwise stated, e.g. HNCs HNDs. Exams Students must speak to their teachers about the examinations they will be entered for. Subject teachers will contact the exams office for entry information. If there are changes to entries after the exam board deadline then it is the students responsibility to pay for the amendment/late entry. In some cases late entries/ amendments cannot be made. The exams office must be advised of any access arrangements needed in exams for example on medical grounds or disability, as soon as the requirement is known. If you miss an exam due to illness then you must contact the exams office for advice. If you are ill during an exam then you must also contact the exams office. All information in this guide was believed to be correct at time of print (June 2016), but is subject to change at any time. APPLICATION FORM APPLICATION FORM
