Student Life

An inclusive environment

Eastleigh College is fully inclusive, serving learners with varying ages and abilities. It is proud of its ability to meet the needs of a diverse range of learners. It achieved the Investors in Diversity award in 2010, and actively promotes Equality and Diversity with its staff, students, suppliers and contractors.

Higher Education learners are seen as one strand of college life that integrates with the whole College community. We feel this makes the College a friendly and interesting place to be.

Facilities Overview

The College is a mixture of new and old buildings spread over four sites. On the main site students will find:

The Learning Centre
A designated HE Study Area
Student Support Services Centre

Refectory
Coffee Shop
Counselling Service

Extra@Eastleigh

All students attending the College can access the extra@eastleigh enrichment programme, which offers an extensive range of sporting activities and leisure opportunities. These include access to the College gym, a range of sport and fitness activities and various leisure classes and clubs. View the full extra@eastleigh programme here.

Student Involvement

The Student Council meets every term to raise and discuss issues regarding the quality of College life, and to be consulted on proposed changes. Feedback is provided to those students who are unable to attend the meetings via newsletters, digital signage, email and posters.

Students are also invited to be a part of a Student Executive. This group of students meet monthly with the Director of Teaching and Learning, the Student Liaison Officer, the Customer Services Support Manager and the Clerk to the Governors. This group is empowered to contribute to more in depth consultation regarding the College. Members of the Student Executive are also Eastleigh College Governors.

Students are surveyed for their views at induction, during their programme and when they have completed their course. HE students may also be subject to surveys produced by the awarding universities and may be asked to complete the National Student Survey. In addition, students can go online to pass comments regarding the College using the 'Have Your Say' option on Moodle.
