Build your own Programme
We have over 40 amazing creative, scientific, social science and sport options for you to choose from, but don’t take our word for it. Hear from our students below about how their enrichment options helped them develop essential skills for life:
“At Esher, I do the Sewing Bee extension study and I’m on the College’s Womens Basketball team, which has helped me learn to communicate while in high stress games! I’ve also added the Critical Thinking excellence pathway to my timetable, which is helping me gear my thinking for more complexity for the higher status universities.” Flora
You can make up to 6 choices during the online enrolment process. Please make sure you are happy with all of your 6 choices as you are likely to be allocated one of them. If you wish to be considered for a sports team, you must put that team as your first option.
Long or short course?
You can either do one long course or two short courses in your first year. Some of our courses such as membership of a sports team or Duke of Edinburgh will last up until Easter. Our short courses last for only one term. If you choose a short course, you will need to choose another short course at changeover time in January, which you will follow until Easter.
