Life at Pearson

We offer a new style of course, in which the academic and employer requirements and expectations are treated with equal importance. This means that when you join Pearson you will become not only part of an academic community, but also part of a business community. Study will be rigorous and fast-paced to help you achieve your career and life goals. Alongside this there is a rewarding student experience based on being part of a small local community of students that you study with on a weekly basis, as well as a wider national community that you will network with online and meet at regular intervals.

Our aim as a College is to give all students the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, understanding and behaviours necessary to succeed in your chosen career. That means helping you get a suitable job, post graduation, or enhancing your career prospects within your current employment if you are already working. You not only gain the skills for success, but also to thrive and enjoy your working life.

Successfully gaining these skills and making the most of the experience depends crucially upon how you interrelate with others. This includes your weekly study sessions, but also at the induction weekends, industry conferences and residentials, and in your online groups, as well as how you relate to colleagues socially. Building a network of friends and colleagues, along with industry and academic contacts is an important part of the Pearson College experience.

For this reason, we have designed all aspects of student life at the College to resonate as far as possible with the reality of modern business environments. This means we expect professional levels of preparation for, and participation in, all study sessions. In return you can expect a dynamic social environment in which you can grow and flourish professionally while enjoying yourself.
