NWSLC - Wigston Campus

got told this college doesnt tolerate bullying as soon as she started course she got bullied.she told tutors that said she was paranoid that's a joke.Near the car park I found a knife I said surely your caretaker should have found it not me! My daughter had money for a trip stolen out of her bag, she told staff all they did was give her back the money from college funds didn't persue culprits think giveing money back that sorted it.We got told this college was brill but as you see this place as lots of issues.Think twice before starting here. BTW tried to email you back but just like the college no response.

Popped in today to find preparations for students returning well under way. The place is gleaming thanks to the hard work of the cleaning staff. Premises officers have done an amazing job marking out 2 metre distances and ensuring classrooms only accommodate enough students so everyone is safe. Lots of new non-touch hand sanitisers supplementing the existing ones too. A super job from everyone involved.

As an adult learner I was initially worried but I needn't have been. The tutors in particularly Sharon evans and Louise Khan have been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable in their subjects. Both tutors are a credit to the college. The library boasts an array of reading material with access to a wide range of both academic and fiction books. The college has great facilities with an abundance of computers readily available for student use. The cafeteria and on site Costa coffee is a great addition. I would highly recommend this campus.

Mixed review, do what you will with the information.I've been here for 5 years (still am until May) I started on BTEC Level 2 Media and have worked my way to HND Level 5. When I first started the whole experience was fantastic! Tutors were great! I got involved in the Student Union, played a huge part for the college. So it's great how you can get so many opportunities and that you can work your way up to the top from knowing nothing.But...During this time the college has rapidly gone down hill, a very steep one at that! We'd had in assignments on time to be marked to then have to wait over a month for a response to which then it wouldn't be sufficient enough to make improvements. Certain tutors drift away from actually lecturing the subject to something completely irrelevant to our learning. Certain staff speak to you like you are a piece of trash on the floor, some have no respect for students, especially those who like myself have been here for 5 years. Not only that but the media rooms as you'd imagine are specifically designed for media students as the computers in said rooms are the only ones fast enough to run out softwares...but, towards the end of the academic year (most crucial time to get in assignments) the media rooms are closed off for exams for COMPLETELY DIFFERNT SUBJECTS! Such as, H&S, childcare, maths, English. They aren't even using the computers! And when approached about why they are using the rooms, I get the reply it's nothing to do with you

I've had a mainly brilliant experience coming to this college to do my access to higher education course. Everyone on the course had a an issue with one teacher but this was rectified by the college. Everything else has been great and the other teachers were fantastic.

My daughters doing a two year course and we have found the college to be good academically frirndly staff and my daughter loves her group and doing very well i give 5 *** and would highly recommend

I studied B tech Media at level 3 and HNC. Level 3 was ok but disappointing how the teachers don't take your own time into consideration while on the course encouraging students to quit their jobs as well as sell their cars.One Unit was a complete waste of time as it lead up to a public expedition that collapsed and the teacher running it made a false claim that it fell on her and I was a witness to it not happening I was literally 5 meters away looking at her and it completely missed her as well as several other students so when the paramedics did turn up they knew there wasn't anything wrong with her but she still managed to have at least a month off while the students were left to scrounge anything the teacher had left behind to finish the unit and all of the other teachers had to help out as well because we were pretty much left for dead then when she did return she lied about having memory loss and completely disregarded anything to do with that unit. Then the maintenance staff wouldn't allow us back into the area when it had already fallen down for us to get basic things such as costumes for our other productions and they had a go at us afterwards the had to oversee the accident" they approached me about mine and several other students who witnessed the exhibition not falling on the teacher they disregarded anything I said and din't take my opinion into consideration even when I said I'd be willing to testify it. Another teacher wouldn't let us actually get on with our work because she was too busy talking then when work was supposed to hand work in she got annoyed at us for it being late.The next year came and while I continued my studies of media at a HNC level all but two of my teachers refused to even say hello to me while passing them in the hallway which seemed very rude and unprofessional. Then one of the tutor missed a total of 22 sessions they were supposed to teach without any warning or email/notification to the students which was a huge waste of time and money especially since I had to pay £6000 just to get onto the course and they never arranged cover for that teacher so the day was wasted

I deleted my last review and im now going to write my final year review:This college is absolutely amazing, I had so much support here and gained so much confidence. There's so much to do around here and its so historic.The Media department are so fantastic and they have really given me the confidence to go out there and achieve my goals and ill never forget a single moment of this place.I'll always remeber everything i did here and everything i achieved and i met so many amazing friends and i couldn't thank this college so much for the incredible support they have given me in order to achieve my dream university degree and im so so happy that after being bullied at school and being told by several people im not capable of achieving a level 2 and level 3 course well, you thought wrong because this college allowed me to get my grades and finally study a university degree.The last 4 years here has been amazing and ill never forget you all thank you so much for everythingCameron BrandowNwslc Media student

It a friendly place at times I studied here for 2 years and really enjoyed it the library was my favourite place to go, the cafeteria is a bit over priced for some of their food but it's pretty good food.When I went here for the 2 years doing 2 different courses I had a lot of fun doing my work experience, and with the staff that was working there at the time. There is trips planned through the year if you want to go my year went to Alton towers after our exams which was great. I also did the NCS challenge through this collage during an open day they had on with a few of my friend and we all loved it, there was something always happening within the college by either the staff or the students whether it was charity fund raisers or open day it's a nice college and I really enjoyed going there.
