Overseas student requirements

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL PROSPECTIVE OVERSEAS STUDENTS SHOULD OBTAIN THEIR VISA THROUGH THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER BRITAIN.
 

Each overseas student who attends HBC on a student visa must attend a  minimum of 15 hours full time class hours per week.

Students possessing a student visa to attend HBC and who do not
attend college will be immediately reported to the Home Office and dealt with on a legal basis accordingly.

Also a student whose attendance falls below 80% will be reported to the Home Office. There will be no refund of fees already paid in these cases.

Overseas students must possess a practical knowledge and use of the English language and have completed IELTS Level 5.5 or equivalent.

 Classes are held Tuesdays and Wednesdays (9am - 6pm). Schedule as follows       

Class Times              9.00-9.45      Chapel Time
                              10:00-11:30    Teaching
                              11:30-11:45    Break
                              11:45-13:00    Teaching
                              13:00-14:00    Lunch
                              14:00-15:45    Teaching
                              15:45-16:00    Break
                              16:00-18:00    Teaching


The above represents 15 hours of tuition per week. In addition, every student will do a MINIMUM of 9 hours individual study per week to complete homework assignments, daily lesson revision, reading assignments and project preparation. Every student is thus required to do a MINIMUM of 24 hours of tuition and study per week.
The Distance Learning Programme is covered at the student’s own pace.
