Dean College of London,which has been in existence nearly 25 years,
was founded in response to a basic demand from parents – that
their children be prepared as intensively and successfully as possible
for public examination in the United Kingdom.The British Accreditation
Council (BAC)has accredited Dean College of London for independent
further and higher education since 1990.
We clearly recognise that a successful conclusion to a young person
’s secondary education is his or her entry in to a university,a
professional body or other training in the career of their choice.

Dean College of
London has grown and changed with the times. We focus our efforts

information technology, mathematics, the natural sciences, finance,
business and computer science. We do this through the medium of English,
the international language of the modern business and educational
environment.
The College is a recognised centre for many examination boards, including
GCE boards and professional bodies such as the London Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, the Royal Society of Arts, City & Guilds, and the
Association of Accounting Technicians.
Dean College of London now comprises the following departments (details
of the courses are given in this guide): GCE and GCSE Studies; English
as a Foreign Language (EFL); Computer Studies;and Business Studies.
The College also offers a one-year degree Foundation course,
which has been approved by a number of universities. On successful
completion of this course, students are guaranteed a place at a UK

have extensive experience in higher education in the United Kingdom.

Student
profile
Dadirai Agnes Machingauta,
Zimbabwe
‘I began studying at Dean College of London
in September 2002 to improve my English
language skills. My ambition is to complete
the course in June of this year and then
enrol on a degree course at the American
University in London.
When I arrived in the country I found London very different
to Zimbabwe, but the College and the staff made me feel very
welcome and helped me adjust.
The local area and community is also very lively and friendly.
One of the best things about the College is that the classes
are smaller meaning the lecturers can give us plenty of support
and guidance.I know that my brand-new friends there will
make a major difference in my academic, professional and personal
life.
Once I have completed my studies, I would like to work for an
international organisation back home in Zimbabwe.’ |
