About Us

Our Mission

At Borough College London, we take our responsibility for preparing a new generation of students for vocational and professional careers very seriously. We have adopted a “client centred” approach to our tutoring, training and assessment procedures in order to offer a flexible and affordable quality education to our learners. In our experience, this philosophy effectively bridges the gap between traditional academic study and today’s real world environment. Our UK learners can undertake their courses on block release, part-time day release, part-time evening or part-time weekend. Those who are prevented by distance from attending at our London campus can enrol on Blended provision to undertake their courses on-line, distance learning or attend at a study centre. Our aspiration is to not to disadvantage any serious learner on the basis of their location or other constraints.
