Holborn College, established in 1969, is one of the most successful independent colleges of higher education in the United Kingdom. We are a specialist business and law college offering a range of foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate courses in these disciplines.
Holborn College is a very distinct educational institution for at least four reasons. First, it is a truly international college, with 90% of our students coming from outside the UK and the EU. Further, this has been the historical pattern of our recruitment since the establishment of the College. Accordingly we have a special understanding of the needs of international students. Second, our academic ethos is geared to student success. All courses put an emphasis upon thoroughly preparing students for their assessments and examinations through sessions on examination technique, mock examinations, revision workshops, etc. Third, unlike many independent colleges in the UK, Holborn is committed to academic scholarship. This better enables us to recruit calibre academics which in turn strengthens the delivery of our courses. The college has a strong postgraduate profile, which in particular benefits from our commitment to scholarship. Fourth, we have a highly developed pastoral care system suited to the needs of international students, which has been one of the keys to our success over the years - we care about all of our students.
The College has strong academic credentials. Over the years we have received a number of awards and accolades, of which the Queen's Award for Export Achievement, in recognition of our achievements in the field of international education, was particularly satisfying. Holborn College is part of Kaplan, which is one of the foremost providers of innovative education in the world, with nearly a million students across 3,000 classroom locations worldwide.
Qualifications achieved through Holborn College enjoy international recognition. Since 1969, thousands of students have successfully taken our programmes and used their qualifications to reach the highest levels in their chosen professions. A qualification achieved through Holborn College is key to a successful and exciting time.
