Exploring your career ideas

We have halls of residence at three of our colleges – Moreton Morrell College, Pershore College and Royal Leamington Spa College – providing a range of en-suite, catered and self-catered accommodation for students. Our accommodation team offer advice throughout your stay with us to ensure you have one less thing to worry about.
WCUC has an Inclusion Team dedicated to working with our higher education students.
They support students with a range of different needs, including specific learning difficulties (such as dyslexia), physical and sensory disabilities, ASC / Autism, mental health and medical conditions. Their aim is to ensure that appropriate support is in place while you study at WCUC, and are happy to provide information and guidance before you complete your application, via email, phone or at college open events. The Inclusion Team works closely with academic staff to ensure that reasonable adjustments are provided within the classroom. It is important that you tell us about your individual needs as soon as possible so that we can give you advice as to the most appropriate support on your chosen course. This includes guiding you through the process of applying for the Disabled Students’ Allowance where appropriate. Please tick the box on your UCAS application form to notify us that you have additional needs.
If you didn’t tick the box on your UCAS form or you would like more information, call us on 0330 135 6158 or email us on info@wcuc.ac.uk
There are many challenges faced by care leavers entering education – that’s why we want to make the process as easy as possible for you.
We can provide help and advice on tuition fees, accommodation and the range of support available to help you once you start your course, such as bursaries and study skills. To help us help you, please tick the box on your UCAS application form to notify us that you are a care leaver.
If you didn’t tick the box on your UCAS form or you would like more information, call us on 0300 456 0049.
At WCUC we know how important it is to develop your skill set while also benefitting from employment opportunities available to you while you study.
Our Careers Team and HE Work Placement Coordinators provide the guidance and support you need to assist with your career development. The team share jobs, volunteering roles and work experience. Many of our students have gone on to successful roles within an array of organisations, as well as setting up their own businesses, both nationally and internationally. We even employ some higher education students as HE envoys, events assistants and residential wardens.
