Your First Look at College Life Starts Here

At Barnfield College, we do things differently.

Once you’ve applied for a course, the next big step is attending a Course Introduction Meeting (CIM) - a relaxed, friendly on-campus group session that helps you get to know the course, the tutors and what college life is really like.

A CIM isn’t an interview. It’s your chance to decide whether Barnfield College is right for you.

During the session, you can expect:

  • A warm welcome from our staff 
  • A simple, high-level introduction to the course
  • A look at our facilities
  • Insight into what college life is like
  • Information on what happens next 
  • Time to ask questions

You’ll also get an introduction to the wider Barnfield College experience, including:

  • Work experience and industry placements
  • Financial support and bursaries
  • English and Maths support
  • Student wellbeing and pastoral services
  • Enrichment, activities and extra personal development opportunities
