The past two years has indeed been a difficult time for all of us as the deadly pandemic Covid-19 placed a massive strain on our movements, freedom as well as our physical and mental health at large. It’s an undisputable fact that our teaching and learning was hugely affected even though there were other avenues such as online sessions available to stimulate effective teaching and learning. The College would like to express its endless gratitude to all stakeholders such as Staff, Lecturers, Covid-19 Testing Team and all non-teaching staff for all their resilience, hard work and positivity throughout the pandemic.

On Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th March a team of experts from London Metropolitan University visited Nelson College in order to carry out two important tasks. The first was to review how the College had been delivering programmes of study validated by the University for delivery by the College – namely two Foundation Degrees (in Business & Hospitality Management) and two ‘top-up’ programmes to convert Pearsonvalidated HNDs into London Met-validated Bachelor’s degrees. The second was to validate two taught Master’s degrees: one in International Business (Management) and one in International Business (Hospitality Management). I am pleased to report that London Met’s team has recommended – subject to conditions being fulfilled – both the revalidation of existing London Met-accredited programmes and the validation of the proposed Master’s degrees.

Whether you are a returning student on one of our Top-up or HND Programmes, or you have just joined us on a HND Programme, Nelson College London would like to convey the warmest welcome back from the summer break, to all of our students. Since you’ve been away, the college has undergone a QAA review, and received its Office for Students (OfS) registration. A message from the Nelson College London: The College is delighted to announce that Nelson College London is one of the first for-profit private colleges and one of the leading providers of career-focused higher education in East London that has achieved registration status from the Office for Students. Announcing this news, Nelson College Principal Professor Geoffrey Alderman explained that this registration “means that the College meets Office for Students requirements for course quality, academic standards, student support, student protection and more.” As an OfS-registered higher-education provider, Nelson College will be able to charge fees up to the highest level approved by the Department for Education – just over £9,000 per annum. British and EU students will be entitled to borrow these fees from the Student Loans Company. Much of this money will be used to support the College’s Access & Participation Plan, which the OfS has also approved and which is now publicly available on the College website.

Pearson Academic Management Review The Pearson Academic Management Review took place at the College on 8 March 2018, at both of our campuses. These visits aim to conduct a review of our centre-wide quality assurance systems against the Quality Objectives and Measure framework in order to provide judgements and feedback. This process is undertaken to safeguard the safe certification of BTEC qualifications.” The College received a report outlining the outcomes of the visit, which detailed that no essential actions or recommendations were made as a result of the review. The College is pleased with this result, and hopes to continue operating under rigorous and transparent systems and procedures.

We are continuously working to improving our facilities to enhance student life at NCL. The Ilford campus has now moved its operations to the 4th floor of the Olympic House building. Classes are now located on the 4th floor. The student common room / computer room is still available to use on the 2nd floor, along with the kitchen facilities and classrooms (rooms 223 & 224). The Student Support Teams are located behind reception, where they are available to answer any of your questions regarding your assessments and submissions. We hope to bring about positive changes with this development. By bringing staff and students closer together, we can foster a more constructive learning environment. If you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff, who will do their best to assist you.
