WELCOME TO BOSTON CITY CAMPUS & BUSINESS COLLEGE!

Dear Student,

Welcome to your higher education programme of study!

Our wish is that you realise your academic dreams in 2018, and to this end we will ensure that you receive our full support so that you may “Become the CEO of your dreams!”

Students are regarded as adult learners who are self-motivated and are treated as such. Boston places students at the center of the learning process, emphasizing learning as an “individual act” thus, students take full responsibility for their own learning. Educators and tutors will facilitate learning to enable students to achieve the learning outcomes required in each course.

A key to unpacking this Module is to reference the Course Outline document which is intended to assist students by providing a detailed support document to navigate this particular module.

Remember, the best way to prepare for your studies is to work methodically and continuously throughout the semester. This requires students to:

plan and programme their studies and the writing of assessments by taking into account their personal and work schedules and other commitments.
make a habit of planning well ahead, and noting in advance those dates and events that could affect their studies.
arrange study leave and study blocks well in advance.

Please contact us at the following numbers or email addresses, should you require clarification or support on any matter pertaining to your studies.
