Prospectuses
In its drive for environmental sustainability, the college will not be producing a paper prospectus this year. Instead, the website has all the information required for students to research and apply for a place, under each course area. https://www.sgscol.ac.uk/study
There is a downloadable/viewable full prospectus as well for those who prefer this format.
https://www.sgscol.ac.uk/repository/documents/prospectuses/full_time_prospectus_2021.pdf
Mini Prospectuses
We realise that students often need a paper-based resource to begin their research, so we have produced “Z-Cards” (credit card-sized expandable mini prospectuses) and courier delivery will begin today to you. These Z-Cards contain engaging course information and scannable QR codes to each course area, with details of course duration and application. Please let me know if you do not receive your pack within the next 2 weeks.
