Worst College ever.....

MBA/LLM/LLB.....
University: Holborn College, United Kingdom
Posted by: Suryanvarm | Male | London

Overall experience

This is a worst college i have ever seen....this college is established legally...everything is legal in accordance with UK laws.But in reality the college is spoiling the lives of 100s of indian students....even if you perform well the college will not give passmarks to the students.....and fail them,,,so they can earn money from resit fees......for each resit ,student must pay nearly 120 pounds(nearly 10000 INR). So they mainly interested in making money....once you paid the fees ,then situation changes.....they will never listen to your worries at all.....the academic services department is the most harrassing one.....if they fail a student....no need to pay the registration fees for each student.....to the university,,,so again to save nearly 2000 pounds for each student...they will fail the students and terminate the course ask them to leave the college...... 1. The conditions for PG courses are: a, The number of resit is only one.So totally a student can attempt an exam two times.After that if a student will just get PG diploma or PG certificate for The cost Postgradute degree. b,To give PG diploma and PG Certificate there is no need to pay extra money to the university.....so they will try their maximum to fail student and not to give pg degree..... So if somebody want to take it as a challenge their studies by spending lots of money can come and join....and risk their money and career.....

Funding and scholarships

in 2005 this college announced scholarships for indian students, mainly affected by tsunami with the help of british council.....they published this news in all major indian news papers to attract students....but in reality...when we contacted british council...they said that they never heard of it ...and realted to this college at all...again cheating.......

Your study experience

Except one or two lecturers most of them working for making money to the college.....teachers are not well quaified for teaching Pg .....library is very small and not good or eligible to conduct PG studies.....very illequiped .some teachers are even harassing students and mentally torturig them through which ever way they can......

Your life experience

If you want to get a UK degree go and join some university even if you spend some money more.....u will get a dgree and can excel in ur career.....i am one of the affected student and helpless and trying to help others through this site.....if you are not believing me....plz ask any student who studied in this college or somebody who is living in london.....dont ask agencies they will provide only good picture not the reality....because the college is providing 25% commission for each student form fees...but reputed universities will never do this.....so the agencies will try to get max students to these type of colleges.S plz enquire with former students if you are going to sudy abroad.......

Job prospects

In Uk if u are studying in an indepndent colleges like this the job prospective in UK is very less compared to University educated students.......nobody knows about this and spend nearly equal amount,,,,,,,

Would you recommend your institution to future students?

No

This holborn college is really worst.college are failing student for earn money GBP120 per student per subject and if any student fail 2 times, college is giving PGinstead od certificate.and saving GBP3500 university charges. they are not giving certificate of university of wales because college have to pay GBP 3500. so they failing 90% of student and saving money. on the other hand other college are passing 90% to 95% student.

Thank you karis...atleast you responded positively.......cheaters like this should be taught a lesson....somebody has to fight......if somebody did this before 100s students shouldnt have lost their bright future......this needs to be questioned before public...and the fear to question the authorities should go and people like Karis should come forward and speak the truth.....and lets hope for the best and justice should be served to those it is denied.....karis once again thank you for your response........

i was in holborn college in 2004/05 and i hated it.everything is wrong and the library and it facilities are really poor. i had to run soo fast to a different university where i found shelter. and which COLLEGE charges soo much just at once.i came there because it looked like a good college that is affordable and all of a sudden i here the school fees has gone up tremendously. the lecturers are not dedicated and the marking system is very poor. and yes Suryanvarm is talking the truth.

2005/06 % of students presented who were awarded LLM 30.6...... 2006/07 % of students presented who were awarded LLM 25.9...... This is the result of the Holborn College with regard to LL.M.(University of Wales). For the year 2007/08 is even worse......i will be coming out with that result soon...... This is the result of the so called reputed college.The MBA results are worst than LL.M....i am not just making allegations against the college......i am giving this information from the document that i have receivd in accordance with Freedom of information Act 2000 from University of Wales.I am making these comments with solid eveidences....not just a mockery of Indian Students.....and one more thing.....if you go to any reputed college/university and ask for the results.. ...you will not get a pass percentage below 75%...this year i am expecting a worst result ever.....
