I chose Nescot for my degree because of the friendly atmosphere, experienced lecturers with their own take on different aspects of osteopathy, and smaller class sizes. Smaller classes mean more interaction and one-to-one time with tutors.Naomi, Osteopathic Medicine

Epsom & EwellWe think our borough is a great place to study. It’s also a great place to make your home, and to start or relaunch your career.

Epsom and Ewell has something for everyone, and was ranked as the seventh happiest place to live in the country in 2017.

Epsom is a lively town with a shopping centre, restaurants, bars, pubs, nightclubs and a theatre, while Ewell is a quiet and picturesque village.

The borough has plenty of green open spaces, from the compact and historic Bourne Hall in Ewell to the 250-acre Nonsuch Park on the borough’s borders.

Epsom is also host to the famous Derby, billed as the world’s greatest flat race, which has been a fixture of the horse racing calendar

since the inaugural race in 1780 and which attracted 154,000 people to Epsom Downs in 2016.

Mature studentsOver the last four years, 44% of students enrolling on our Higher Education courses have been mature students. Whether you’re starting a new career, changing jobs or adding to your professional qualifications, we work hard to help you balance your studies with your other commitments so that you reach your full potential.

A ‘full-time’ course doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be in college five days a week. Timetables vary between courses, but we aim to schedule classes, tutorials, lectures and assessments in a way that helps you manage your time efficiently. In some cases we’re also able to be flexible with our entry

requirements, for example accepting substantial work experience in lieu of some academic qualifications.

If you’re balancing your studies with caring for young children you could make use of our on-site nursery, Nestots, which cares for children aged up to five.
