The Campus

Free time

As part of your College experience you will learn independence and how to manage your free time in a friendly and supportive environment. You may want to get down to some serious studying in the LRC in between classes, decide to explore the local village and enjoy the beauty of being in the heart of the New Forest, chill out with friends in the Hard Brock Café, or learn how to windsurf on our Enrichment programme.
 

Enrichment

The Enrichment programme offers you over 60 activities including Choir, Christian Union, Duke of Edinburgh Award, French, Dance Styles, Kayaking Club, LAMDA, Life Drawing, NARS Pool Lifeguard Award, Orchestra, Photography and Yoga.

Many students take part in sport at Brockenhurst on a non-competitive basis and Enrichment is a great way to get involved in the sports that you love.

You are also able to use the outstanding sporting facilities available and may like to get involved with the Personal Training Enrichment.
