Hi, I'm Eleanor Taylor

As Head of HE and International, I have a cross-college role which involves leading on the growth and improvement of both HE and also international provision, so I work closely with the Heads of School and other support areas, as well as leading the HE team. I am hugely proud of the ringing endorsement we got from the Quality Assurance Agency during 2010-11, as well as the work we have done to improve the HE student experience at college. But 2012-13 will still be a busy year for the team, as we will be working to rollout the same good practice to our international students, as well as making sure that all 2012 applicants understand the new funding arrangements. We will also be really focussing on making the best use possible of student feedback.

I am so fortunate that despite all the meetings, emails and reports, I still have daily contact with students who come in to the HE Zone, because it is our students who make this role so worthwhile.

Hi, I'm Dani MacKinnon

I'm the HE & International Manager and my main responsibilities are involved with managing all aspects of the HE student experience. This includes ensuring you are provided with accurate, useful and timely information well before you start your course and as you progress through your studies with us.

I liaise regularly with a wide range of support teams across the college, such as finance, admissions, student services and the learning resource centres to ensure that you have everything you need to succeed on your course. I also work with curriculum teams to identify additional support, activities and opportunities relating to your course and academic development to allow you to maximise your potential and experience at Vision West Nottinghamshire College. Please do get in touch with me by calling 01623 627191 ext 8697, if you have any suggestions on how we might improve the service we provide to our HE and our international students.

Hi, I'm Shelley Dawson

I’m the HE & International Co-ordinator. It’s my job to try to make sure our HE team activities run smoothly, so the job is very varied! Behind the scenes, I organise essential administration, support validations & approvals, and external quality audits, and collect, track and monitor the quality of information associated with our HE courses. I can help with your queries about applications, enrolment, assessment hand-in etc, but can also help signpost where you can go to get answers to other queries you may have. I am also responsible for the organisation and administration of the assessment boards where your grades will be formally ratified. You can find me in room 105B at Derby Road, or alternatively you can give me a call on 01623 627191 ext 8699.

Hi, I’m Theresa Allin

I’m the Higher Education and International Advisor and can be found in room 108 at Derby Road. My role within the team is to offer support and guidance to both staff and students and to assist with any international enquiries.

Here at Vision West Nottinghamshire College we are always keen to ensure that our students receive the best possible experience. I also administer the Access to Learning Fund, so if you find yourself in financial difficulty during your studies, contact me straight away. We might be able to help.
