*'''Commnet''' -- perhaps delete. Preparing for HND or a BA suggests that it is seekiung to be in the further education college sector. Before I accepted this as a legitimate college, I would want to see evidence of a substantial number of students; and that they are engaged in fulltime courses. The omission from the Visa sponsors and its having an "org.uk" not "ac.uk" web address suggests to me that it is not meeting these criteria.

**I would concur with that. There are too many suspicious aspects of this school. Even if we take what they say at face value, it's not a degree granting institution.
