You will find life at Eastleigh College is very different to life at school. You will be encouraged to be independent and take more responsibility for your own learning. Your courses will involve significant independent study to support the practical and classroom based teaching time.

Extracurricular activities

Outside of study time, you will be involved in a range of extracurricular activities to ensure your time at College is enjoyable and maintains a good balance between work and play. Check out the full programme of activities on offer here: eXtra@Eastleigh

Work experience

Many courses at Eastleigh College include some practical work experience, either with a local employer or within one of the real working environments at the College such as the Red Carpet Restaurant, Motor Vehicle workshop, Hair and Beauty Salons, and Eden Global Travel shop.
