“I really loved studying at BCUIC. The best thing about the experience was the teachers: they are amazing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I learnt so much at BCUIC, and I loved it at BCU. There was more self-directed study when I progressed to the University but BCUIC prepared me well for that. I would recommend coming to BCUIC, 100%!”

Important:
All students accessing the 3D workshops, plaster room, glass room, water-jet cutting room and the kiln room will need to wear safety footwear that has toe caps. Such footwear can be purchased from any safety footwear provider – including Sports Direct – and can be as cheap as £12. The shoes should be S1P and comply with EN 20345.
There is no long-term storage facility for personal items in the workshops, so students are advised to bring the safety footwear with them each day they are accessing the workshops.
Special entry requirements
