College of London |
|
Dean College of London,which has been in existence nearly
25 years, was founded in response to a basic demand from
parents – that their children be prepared as intensively
and successfully as possible for public examination in the
United Kingdom.The British Accreditation Council (BAC)has
accredited Dean College of London for independent further
and higher education since 1990.
We clearly recognise that a successful conclusion to a young
person ’s secondary education is his or her entry
in to a university,a professional body or other training
in the career of their choice.

Student
profile
Dadirai Agnes Machingauta,
Zimbabwe
‘I began studying at Dean College of London
in September 2002 to improve my English
language skills. My ambition is to complete
the course in June of this year and then
enrol on a degree course at the American
University in London.
When I arrived in the country I found London very different
to Zimbabwe, but the College and the staff made me feel
very welcome and helped me adjust.
The local area and community is also very lively and
friendly. One of the best things about the College is
that the classes are smaller meaning the lecturers can
give us plenty of support and guidance.I know that my
brand-new friends there will make a major difference
in my academic, professional and personal life.
Once I have completed my studies, I would like to work
for an international organisation back home in Zimbabwe.’ |
