• Spain• Sweden• United States

of America• Vietnam• Venezuela • Zambia

How do I know if I have the entry requirements?We use NARIC which provides information on international qualifications to compare your qualifications with UK requirements for Level 3 Study Programmes.

How many courses can I do?You are advised to take 3 core A Level or BTEC subjects. In addition, you can participate in further holistic development such as another A Level, BTEC, directed study time, Enrichment activities or qualifications such as Core Maths. All Level 3 courses including A Levels and BTECs are taught over two years with any exams in the final term of year 2.

How do I choose the right courses?At Huish you will get advice on the right choices for your career or university plans. We interview you after you send your application to us and the interviewer becomes your personal tutor to make sure that throughout induction and enrolment you are able to discuss and refine your choices to ensure that they are the right ones.

Do I get any help with English Language? As an international student you will, if appropriate, receive weekly ESOL lessons which include support to further develop your language skills, and work towards improving your IELTS score for university entry. These sessions will include cultural support if you are new to the UK. We also offer additional support sessions that can be either 1:1 or in small groups, where you can take work along – this could be essays, coursework, a personal statement or anything else you would like some English support with.

A Levels and BTECs explainedAt Richard Huish College you can study Level 3 A Levels or BTEC qualifications. They are both recognised by universities around the world as valid entry requirements. Our international students have great success in securing places at Russell Group Universities in the UK andother top institutions around the world.

British A Levels are designed to be demanding and with real subject depth. This depth of study will enable students to have an improved understanding of the subject and be more skilled and better prepared for university and employment.

BTEC (Level 3) qualifications are called vocational courses and are mainly coursework based offering a more practical approach to learning. They are recognised by universities worldwide as valid entry onto degree programmes. At Huish you can study a combination of A Level and BTEC qualifications if you wish.

You will be able to choose three A Levels or BTECs from our range of nearly 50 courses to make your Study Programme.

You can also choose a one-year Accelerated A Level Programme suitable for high achieving students who want to progress to top universities.

BTEC courses are vocational qualifications that provide an alternative method in which to gain the essential skills and knowledge for future study or a career.

BTECs offer you the chance to gain a nationally recognised qualification on a more practical level in the way that you are both taught and assessed.

Taking part in Enrichment will enhance your personal profile when moving on, whether to university or employment. Students value the skills, knowledge and, most importantly, fun that Enrichment provides through its social, cultural and recreational experiences. It is also a great way to meet new people.

Do I have to do Enrichment?What you do in your free time is up to you. However, we have provided the opportunities for you so you can fit them into your college day. We try to make it easy for you to take part so you can comfortably do Enrichment alongside your studies.

This example timetable shows how enrichment activities are part of your study programme

Academic Enrichment

Students who are planning on applying to competitive universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and the Russell Group or are aspiring to careers in Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science can enrol on our Academic Enrichment Programme. The course is aimed at supporting you to develop your skills in analysis, reasoning, independent research, evaluation, logic and problem solving.

Students who enrol on to the Academic Enrichment Programme can select from the following:

Some of our Academic Enrichments include:Beginners’ JapaneseChess ClubCreative WritingDebating SocietyEarth Science SocietyEconomics SocietyUK Linguistics OlympiadEU Translating CompetitionHistory SocietyLife DrawingLinguisticsPolitics SocietyPsychology SocietyReading Group

I felt that Medical Enrichment would be a great addition to my university application and I know that it could help in my science subjects, such as Biology. Our lessons are very relaxed and, between learning definitions of word roots and meanings, we have some time to discuss current events and problems in the medical world and how we would solve them. You are always notified of any opportunities, in or out of Huish, including work or volunteering experiences to boost your university application and help you enter the world of medicine.

While this is a brilliant Enrichment course, this shouldn’t be the only Enrichment you take part in. Look at your interests and what you enjoy doing for ideas of what else to do.

Jinxin / ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT

As an aspiring medic, Medical Enrichment has been extremely important in helping me gain vital skills for entry to medical school. After coming from one of the leading independent schools in the South West, Medical Enrichment has given me an opportunity that I would never have had at my old school. Huish recognises and understands how important it is to do everything possible to get into medical school. I think Huish has one of the best systems for medical entry around. The mentor for aspiring medics almost acts as an alternate tutor as she is always available to talk about the process of application to medical school.

Alex / ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT

Zhua-Fu Dai (Donny)

I have had a fantastic college life in these two years. My teachers have been really supportive and willing to discuss any questions I faced. There are lots of Enrichments to choose at Huish, from sports to music. During my time here I took part in badminton and fencing and I’m sure that you will find something you like.

I lived in a host family for 2 years and they were really kind and generous to me (literally like my own family) and I think my English has improved greatly as a result. Also my home is really close to Huish and the town; so you can have a lovely time and wander around with your friends after college before going back home. Students here are really friendly and helpful.

Charlotte / INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

Performance Enrichment

Performance Enrichment gives all students across the College an opportunity to take part in a theatrical production. You will be able to take part in acting, dancing, singing and Stage Craft which deals with all the back stage and technical needs for the performances.

Performance Enrichment allows you to create a community of creativity and perhaps a sense of occasional ‘release’ from the demands of your other subjects. All students work to their strengths and enhance their skills in theatre performing.

Stage Craft is crucial to the success of Huish productions – from sound, prop-making, lighting and stage management to set design and costume. Many people are not aware of the wide variety of jobs that exist in putting a show together and this enrichment will provide you with the theory, practical knowledge and ‘hands on’ experience.

I chose Drama A Level and Performance Enrichment mainly because I have been performing since I was 3 years old and really want to pursue it as a career in the future. I had already studied GCSE Drama and performed in a number of shows at secondary school as well (Hairspray, The Canterbury Tales, etc) so I was really pleased to see that I could continue this at Huish. Taking part in Sweeney Todd this year was an amazing and fulfilling experience which I will never forget and I can’t wait to find out what we will be performing next year.

Joe / PERFORMANCE ENRICHMENT

Music Enrichment is open to all students so you don’t have to be studying music subjects to join in. There is a great range of opportunities that will appeal to your interests: there is a Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Choir, Huish Choir, Big Band, Jazz Band, Sax Group and Wind Band. Specialist groups include the String Orchestra, Clarinet Group, Jazz Combo, Folk Group, Rock Choir, Samba Band and Guitar Group. Smaller ensembles include String, Brass and Wind Quartets.

Weekly rehearsals take place during the College day in a dedicated part of your timetable and there are regular public concerts throughout the year.

If you would like to learn an instrument, lessons are available for all. Further information about how to apply will be in your Welcome Pack before you enrol at college, or can be collected from reception.

Music Enrichment

The Advanced Musicianship scheme is something that I decided to add to my timetable as it opens up more performance opportunities and has allowed me to take my grade 6 theory this summer, then grade 8 next year. I thoroughly encourage anyone who is serious about music to take this opportunity. Even if you are like me, and do not want to pursue a music related career, it is a great way of getting feedback from fellow musicians and aiding your A Level knowledge through the extra advanced theory classes.This year I have also been on trips to see the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in Poole and Mozart’s Opera The Marriage of Figaro at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff. I have also been involved in a number of concerts this year andI love the way that anyone can get involved.

Amy/ MUSIC ENRICHMENT

As an International student, it has been really interesting studying abroad. I have found the teachers are very helpful and understanding to my needs and I always get extra help when I need it. I chose to study Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Physics and I am enjoying the time in lab and classrooms. I have also been involved in the Maths Challenge which helped me stretch my mind. I am currently representing both the College and Taunton in volleyball. It’s been a great experience for me; playing against many different teams, colleges and also with people of varied skills – which has helped me improve massively and make a lot of friends. I also live with a host family which is quite close to the College and the town itself. Living with a host family is very interesting as the culture and style are different to my own. I have enjoyed feeling a part of a family in a different environment and a distinctive lifestyle.

Dominic / SPORT ENRICHMENT

Sport + ChallengeEnrichment

Sport plays a major role in many students’ lives at Richard Huish College. You can play a wide range of competitive sports, join a performance development programme or simply take part in sport and activity just for fun through the Huish Sport programme.

Enrichment sport takes place during the College day and if you express the desire to be involved, your timetable will be designed to allow this. If you are selected for a college team, you will find that the fixture programme is predominantly on Wednesday afternoons.

Challenge EnrichmentFor those interested in developing their personal and leadership skills there are several opportunities available, leading to nationally recognised qualifications. These Enrichment choices will take you out of the classroom and college, to test your skills and your commitment. The students who take up these challenges tell us how much they gain from their experiences.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Few things tell us, and future employers, more about your strength of character than the achievement of a Gold Award. That’s why we encourage students to take part in this scheme. The scheme is demanding but you will be able to do it. For a Gold Award you must satisfy the requirements of the following five sections:

• Service – anything from conservation projects to life saving

• Skills – from fishing to singing• Physical Recreation – from

Aikido to skiing• Residential – from Outward

Bound to voluntary help with the elderly

• Expedition – Dartmoor to the Andes.

Sports Leaders UK Certificate in Basic Expedition Leadership Award - Level 3 (BEL)

This follows on from the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and is ideal for those students interested in teaching, youth work, armed forces or working in the outdoors.

Accommodation

In your first year we recommend that you stay with one of our carefully selected Homestay families. This will give you a safe and happy introduction to life in Britain. We will carefully select a family that suit your needs and personality. We find that Homestay is a great way for you to use and develop your skills in English. As well as the language you will also develop your knowledge of the people and culture.

Oak House

In your second year you will move into Oak House, our purpose built, student accommodation. With single study bedrooms, ensuite facilities and high quality communal areas, Oak House offers you a more independent living experience in preparation for university and life beyond Huish.

Your pastoral care is very important to us and Oak House has two live-in House Parents who will help you settle into life in Taunton, your studies at Huish and be on hand with whatever help you need.

In addition, you will be able to take part in our extensive social programme, ensuring that you leave Huish with a full cultural as well as academic experience.
