Students
Our students come from many areas in and around Manchester. These include Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside and West Yorkshire. Some travel in from further afield - currently we have students from Chester, Liverpool, Blackburn and even Blackpool.
The college has also achieved Highly Trusted Sponsor status with the UK Border Agency. This enables us to offer our courses to international students.
We currently have around 60 students from countries such as Nigeria, Angola, Australia, United States, Vietnam, Malaysia, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, France and Germany.
This balance of 70% home students and 30% international students has been maintained for a number of years and will continue to be in the future. It ensures a wonderful, lively blend of cultures. Normally the first time students meet others from overseas is at university. It is fantastic for them to be given this chance at Abbey College.
We ensure that all our students get:
- a learning experience that is different to other schools and colleges
- the highest quality teaching possible to help them achieve their first choice course at their first choice university
- a supporting environment that delivers a perfect stepping stone to university life
They respond by putting in tremendously hard work, determination and effort, and consistently achieving excellent academic results
