BHASVIC, Hove | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Good courses, prepares you well for university. But it’s the worst college ffor people with mental health issues. Just toss you aside if you ask for any sincere help. Unsupportive teachers and awful pastoral care. If they improved care then it would be a greater sixth form college.

Complete lack of community within bhasvic which has caused me extreme emotional stress during my time here. A lot of teachers seem to make their mind up about you and from then on categorise you as somewhat less important. Have never felt so excluded academically in a classroom environment as I have in my classes. Chased up endless tutors for months last year as I was in desperate need of support, and was not responded to for 4 months, and still was met with little care and regard. It is inevitable students will struggle doing their a levels, and this lack of quick and effective pastoral support has made my college experience isolated and degrading. Feel completely disheartened in my final months at the college- a college where I joined having confidence that I would be in a motivating, inspiring environment. There have been moments where I have been on the brink of a genuine breakdown at bhasvic and teachers show little sympathy or lenience toward anyone who may be struggling. Anyone considering the college, seriously consider being in an environment so cold and isolating. I understand Bhasvic is highly regarded academically, but looking back I would have rather gone to a slightly more laid back college, where I am not pushed to the point of a mental breakdown. I have friends getting A grades at other colleges, and sustaining a healthy mental state. Unlike at bhasvic where it feels as though you must negate one or the other. Horrible place.

Great field to play on. Open 24 hours. Not much nature…sad as could be a great park, activity field and community space. Lots of litter from students.

Cancelled my A Level placement just before starting there due to ‘oversubscription’. Caused an awful lot of grief. Otherwise looked to be a great place to study.

As a student at Bhasvic I would say that it is a terrible college. The general vibe of the college is that they don’t overly care about their students in an academical and mental sense.
