Moulton College

Studied here for 2 years first year easy going 2nd year straight up depression and anxiety from being stressed over work that was being handed back late and the new computer handing in assignment system was terrible staff are ok tho a lot of pressure for them to be under and their still really helpful tho that's a positive

If you had anything wrong or need help withe anything the staff would just put you down and not help at all. Terrable place.

Uhmmm, difficult place to find, directions not clear enough, to make things worse the school next to it's called Moulton science college as the whole thing wasn't confusing enough

I applied as a part time mature student. This meant I paid for every damn thing that went into the course I was on - right down the the dividers that went in my folders. Which fair enough I guess, I'd been to university - I'd had my allowance of funding from the government and it was my choice to return to college to follow a new career path.
It didn't start off great, really. I had no conformation from the college before starting. No idea where to go on the first day or what I needed to bring. It turns out that this information had been given to others but not all of my class received it. Also, I would soon learn that actually getting stuff done would take its sweet time. Which would've been fine if I wasn't paying for it.
If i'm honest.. myself, and the other part timers got to know very quickly that this college had no interest in part time students. None. At. All. Despite the fact that we were all paying over £1000 for the year, we were shoved in with a full time class and had to ask to be given some sort of direction as to what we were supposed to be doing. Our tutors were too busy battling with the most difficult teenagers they could've been given. Hats off to them, I wouldn't have given them so much of my time when others were begging for my attention.
When I finally finished the course - Part Time Floristry Level 2 Certificate - I had to really weigh out my options. I needed to go back to complete the course. (Even though, when I applied I was sold a complete Level 2 Diploma Course - not half of it.) But what does the college go and do? Why, up the price by over £600 of course! Utterly ridiculous. But I didn't really have a choice because nowhere else offers this course nearby. So reluctantly I reapply for the Diploma.
For some reason, my application didn't go well. After many phone calls, my application form had been lost, was just being looked at, had been cancelled and God knows what else. It got to the point where college was starting and I hadn't fully been accepted by the college. So I ring them and question what I'm supposed to do. They said I couldn't come in without an interview, which is ludicrous as I'd been studying there for the previous year. So I contact my tutor who tells me to come in anyway and we'll get it sorted. Fine.
I turn up, ready for another year of 'education', only to be told that the course I'd struggled so much to get on that same week had actually been cancelled the previous week. Of course, I understand that low numbers would stop a course from running. However, not one that is being entirely funded by those enrolled on it. We were given absolutely no warning that this course wouldn't run - even though I'd been speaking to the student services staff constantly that week.
With absolutely no apology from Craig Jackson - despite being told it was under his authority that the course had been cancelled - I decided to write him a letter and for good measure I popped one to the principal as well, Mr Stephen Davies. I must say - if ever a letter could contain more disregard to a student, I'd eat my hat. In fact, the letter I received was so blase that it almost seemed like I was being put down for complaining at all. But of course I was complaining, I couldn't complete the course I'd paid for!
Anyway, as I haven't heard from them since.Instead I've been doing my own research. It turns out that, colleges in the UK receive no, or little funding for part time courses, hence the large price. So - of course they have no interest in you. There's no added extras for a part timer. No excess profit. Additionally, it turns out that many colleges specifically don't put on a diploma level of this course due to lack of funding for part timers. But they don't tell you that when they can't take the money out of your hand quick enough to get you onto the certificate level.
All in all. I'd be ashamed to call this place an establishment for education. It's nothing more than a money hungry business.

Great staff, great campus and great catering. Great range of food for many dietary requirements, most importantly their decent range for vegans as most college's do not cater for vegan foods at all.

I studied there between 2011 and 2014 and gained a Foundation degree in Applied Animal Studies. I did love my time there, my education was rich and i made life long friends. Yes the staff are over worked, but they are good and in my time i really bonded with some. I am dyslexic and the help i received on arrival to start my course was excellent. The facilities were really good (i know they have changed so i cannot speak for them now) and the grounds are very nice and well kept. And there is good, affordable canteen facilities. Yes the landyards are a faff but they are there for ID and student safety. The college is ran in the efforts to make money but i dont think that is always a bad thing, however, the ability to retain new staff is, leaving them reliant one phd students to teach whole modules. Often this left me feeling likw there were teaching quality deficits compared to the more experienced lectures.

But over all i thought it was incredibly worth it. Worth the stress, tears and mayhem. I now have a useable and worthwhile qualification plus skills and memories i will keep for life.

Do not study construction related subjects at this college, you will regret it. On appearance the college seems to have good facilities for animal and sports studies, however construction is a disgrace.

It has been poorly organised, lectures get cancelled because lecturers don't turn up and the material taught seems inferior and outdated.

Look at other establishments to study construction related subjects.
