College Facilities

The college is fortunate to have comprehensive facilities all under one roof whilst enjoying beautiful surroundings and a peaceful garden to relax in during the summer months. The college has been at its present location since 1976 and is very well-established in the town.

Lecture Rooms

The College has a number of rooms which are used by students, allowing for a maximum of 18 students per class. There are also rooms dedicated to practical use such as point location and practical clinic learning.

Student Common Room

There is an annex to the main building for the exclusive use of the students, which comprises a common room, a kitchen and cloakroom facilities. In the summer students can relax in the college grounds. The main building also benefits from a lounge exclusively for the use of students looking to relax on the comfortable sofas during their free periods and break times, or for a place to study. Wifi is available.

Student Office

Located at the back of the college, the Student Administration office is a focal point for students requiring assistance. There is an additional lounge area next to this room with comfortable sofas.

Library

Our extensive library comprises books, journals, past dissertations, many of which are also available as ebooks or PDFs. Items not available in the library may be requested from the British Library Document Supply Centre. Reading lists are issued at the beginning of each academic year and we have a selection of discounted new books available to sale to students as well as second hand books. Our library catalogue and many past dissertations are available online.

Teaching Clinic

This is a very important benefit to students, enriching their clinical practice and experience right from the beginning of the course, and is highly valued. It is located on the ground floor giving easy access for disabled patients. It comprises a main reception and waiting room and four treatment rooms, one of which still retains the building’s original oak beams and panelling. This very busy teaching clinic is visited by patients, not only from the local vicinity, but also from further afield as well as from abroad. In 2019 our clinic rooms were extensively refurbished and are now a haven of tranquility.

You can also find out more by booking a treatment in the Student Clinic which are available during term time. Student appointments cost just £10 and are always supervised by a registered practitioner – it’s a great opportunity to chat with a student and find out what it’s really like studying here! You can call 01342 313106 to arrange an appointment.
