Every subject in the College are expected to put on some form of activity to add to the learning of their students. These enrichment activities can be in the form of guest speakers, trips to regional and national conferences or places of interest. You may also have the opportunity to pursue your studies during visits abroad; the last four years have seen visits to Barcelona, Rome, Krakow, Prague, Berlin, Germany, New York, Iceland and Australia!
