This event is directed towards any adult (19+) who is interested in studying a course with Exeter College. Perhaps you’re hoping to move forward with your career aspirations, retrain in a new profession or just improve your skills. We have something for everyone.  

Our Adult Online Open Event is the best and easiest way to find out what Exeter College can offer you…  

FIND OUT ABOUT COURSES 

Exeter College is bursting with opportunities for adult learners.  

We offer a range of course types and subjects, from GCSE English and Maths, professional and leisure courses, university level study and Apprenticeships. We know all learners are different, and that’s why we cater for all levels of learning.   

Our Adult Online Open Event is the perfect place to find out which course could help you to unlock your future, and you can do this all from the comfort of your own home, via your phone or laptop.  

HEAR FROM SUBJECT LECTURERS  

We want you to get the best start to your time at Exeter College, and that’s why we’ve arranged for you to be able to hear from subject lecturers during an interactive seminar.  

Each lecturer will break down their courses for you, so you know what to expect when you start. From course content, timetabling and typical exam results, our lecturers are here to guide you.  

ASK LIVE QUESTIONS 

Each session will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.  

After each interactive seminar, subject leaders will respond to your queries. Simply type them in using the question box and get your reply.  

We recommend having a pen and paper handy during the seminar, so you can note down your questions as you think of them.

News round up: Exeter College supporting the community during the lockdown

Over the last few months, we, as a college, community, and a nation, have experienced a lot of firsts. We’re proud to have stepped up to help, supporting people through these difficult times. Here’s our round up of the most popular stories on our website since the lockdown began.  

WE MOVED TO HOME AND ONLINE LEARNING 

Following the advice from Public Health England, the Government and the NHS, Exeter College sites closed for the majority of learners.  

Although the Exeter College site closed, learning never stopped. Thanks to our expert staff, students’ exceptional education continued remotely.  

In a bid to offer further support, we provided our top tips on how to study at home, a guide on how to set up work and learning areas and our Health and wellbeing expert shared his advice on how to look after yourself during the lockdown.  

Find out more about our move to remote learning. 

WE OFFERED ACCOMMODATION TO NHS WORKERS

Exeter College has opened the doors of its Clock Tower accommodation to NHS workers in need of a place to stay during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.   

“Staff at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital are working incredibly hard to save lives on the front line. As a community organisation, we felt it’s only right that we offer everything we can to help them and the NHS,”

– Kristyn Woodward, Exeter College Director of Student Experience.

WE LAUNCHED FLYING START FOR STUDENTS JOINING US IN SEPTEMBER

We knew lots of students were keen to get a head start on their College subjects before joining us. So, we developed Flying Start; our suite of pre-enrolment learning content, getting students to think about their new subjects with us.  

“Flying Start provides some small introductory pieces of work, as well as some suggested background reading on subjects,”

– Jade Otty, Exeter College Vice Principal. 

Access our Flying Start pre-enrolment work.

WE JOINED FORCES WITH PPE4EXETER

In Partnership with PPE4Exeter, a grassroots community project, Exeter College supported the production and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment for community-bases health and care workers. 

We have helped PPE4Exeter provide local centres with safety glasses, face masks, gloves and face shields. 

Find out more about our partnership with PPE4Exeter.  

WE LINKED UP WITH FOOD4HEROES TO PROVIDE MEALS TO NHS STAFF

We offered our state-of-the-art industrial kitchen facilities to Food4Heroes; a charity that provides free nutritious meals to frontline NHS staff during the Coronavirus pandemic.   

Exeter College’s @34 training kitchens are now in use, providing 200 nutritionally balanced, free meals to NHS staff at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital daily.

WE CAUGHT UP WITH OUR STUDENTS

We shared how our students were getting on with their remote learning. 

“Despite all the uncertainty with the current situation, the transition to home learning has been smooth. It has been good to have some continuity and a reason to force some structure into what could be empty days,”

– Tom Matthew, FE Student Governor.

We also got in touch with Madeline Crow, an Exeter College student who ended her studies early to join the NHS front line staff in the fight against coronavirus. 

Find out more about how our students have found remote learning.
