College life

Being a part of the Emmanuel College community will make an enormously positive difference to your life. Sharing accommodation, meals, study time, good times and interesting experiences builds strong bonds and lasting friendships. College life is community life, grounded in mutual respect, camaraderie and shared values.

Student story

I feel that Emmanuel is at the forefront of colleges when it comes to student wellbeing. The constant activities and strong traditions keep everyone involved and help people come out of their shells. You feel secure and valued, so your confidence grows.

Student story

I’ve grown so much academically, professionally and personally because of my time at Emmanuel. The level of genuine support from the staff, tutors and other students was just amazing and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. So did my results!

Student story

It’s really important that every resident feels trusted and respected and the College did a great job to ensure that happened. I was also well informed and able to stay connected so I never missed out on great experiences and important information. The staff guided me through each academic year, equipping me with all the necessary life-skills for after College.
