Britannia College of Excellence

Resources and Facilities

CLASSROOMS AND TEACHING ENVIRONMENT:

The College recognises the fact that "smaller the classes better are the chances for the students to understand what is being taught". This guarantees enhanced level of student-teacher interaction and that within the students performing in groups. Deliberate efforts have been made to set up the classes in classrooms of various sizes, just to suit the requirements of the group being taught there. Therefore, different classrooms have been arranged ranging from small to medium sized ones.
The College believes in enhancing the subject knowledge of the students through their group work and class interaction. Therefore, the class size needs to be manageable, neither too small nor too crowded. Based on our teaching experience and research, we have limited the average strength of our classes to twenty-five.
Though every classroom is modern, well lit and equipped with traditional white board, an Overhead Projector and multimedia projector facility, the faculty suggests small classrooms for case studies and classes for specialized fields. They enjoy this leverage to exercise their choice in selecting this resource as they take pride and responsibility in attending the students on one-to-one basis. This ensures effectiveness in imparting course knowledge to the students with individual attention.
All the classrooms have networking points for the teachers so that they can use them to access the information required for the lessons.

LIBRARY AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT:

The teaching methods adopted in the College recognise student research as a consolidating factor for a thorough grasp on the subject. Therefore, the College has been equipped with a modern library with adequate number of books related to the courses taught in the College.
Since the College pays special emphasis on students' own research into their chosen fields, the students are properly guided to the available research material with all the encouragement from the teachers to make them use the College Library.
As is true with the libraries everywhere, our college library is growing fast with the latest reading material being added to it periodically. Since the horizons of learning are infinite, the students are also encouraged to visit the nearby local libraries. To assist them further and to enable them subscribe to any local library in the city for a variety of books they need, they are issued a college letter to show their bona fide studentship of the Britannia College of Excellence.

COMPUTER LABS- THE MODERN WAY TO TEACH AND LEARN:

The College is equipped with a number of branded Pentium IV PCs that support the students in learning, research, problem solving, data collection and report preparation. Our vision is to equip them with all the modern resources they need.
The computer systems are equipped with all the necessary hardware equipment, which the students are expected to be familiar with. They include scanner, laser printer, CD writers and photocopying facility. The College anyway, keeps upgrading its system according to the demands of the new era. All these systems are also well equipped with the latest relevant software, which are commonly required by the students.
As the internet is the most powerful research tool in today's life, therefore Britannia College Of Excellence has paid special attention toward this aspect in order to provide an internet facility to its students. The whole network is connected through a fast Internet that saves the time of the students to search the desired material.
When it comes to the use of Internet, it is our responsibility as educators to see that that the usage is properly directed. Therefore, for the safety and benefits of the students and the College, different firewalls have been placed to protect material from different sites and different online chatting methods.

THE COLLEGE CANTEEN- A FULFILLING EXPERIENCE:

Britannia College has an indoor and outdoor (summer) canteen where we try to keep a healthy choice of foods and drinks.
The College, being attended by international community, respects the preferences of the vegetarians when it comes to showing our hospitality towards their eating preferences.
There is choice of snacks such as crisps, sandwiches and spring rolls both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, cakes, biscuits, noodles etc. The students usually offer their choices and the inventory is updated according to their requirements and taste. Also available is a vending machine for different hot and cold drinks. Students can also enjoy with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, mineral water, fizzy drinks and different flavours of juices.

ACCOMODATION SUPPORT:

Britannia College of Excellence also offers its international students adequate long-term or short-term accommodation facilities depending on the location and the choice of the students. Given the fact that finding a good accommodation in London is expensive and time consuming for our international students on board, we are pleased to collaborate with Hay Lodge Letting,UK making them responsible to arrange accommodation for our students before or after their arrival.

AIRPORT PICKUP AND TRANSPORT RESOURCES:

Britannia College provides pick-up from the airport to new and arriving foreign students, given that we are informed of such necessities in advance. We understand that it takes time to get settled in a busy and challenging city like London. Extending our hospitality to the departing international students, we also drop them to the airport if needed. Our graduates, working in their homeland, often write to us sharing the pleasant memories of their stay in London with us during their studies.
