Warwickshire College

I find making new friends great which leads to social events/parties which is great fun and the course will really benefit me in the future.

My time at Warwickshire college has been challenging but fun. I've learnt a lot of new things which will help me in the future with the career I want to go into. The teaching is great and I've met loads of new people who are really friendly. At Warwickshire college I have felt like I have been treated more like an adult than people typically treat you during school and sixth form. My experience was quite scary to begin with but as I got to know more and more people and come more comfortable on the course the nerves went away. The college is setting me up for the future, especially with the careers lessons.

The last 4 years studying this degree has been different for many reasons, including covid, but studying at Moreton Morrell isn't like attending a 'normal' university, there is help and support at every corner, classes are small, friendly and have a personal feel to them

Poor, limited freshers organised Very basic accommodation Facilities are good, large range of animals on the animal welfare unit. Not alot happens on the student union, limited events are organised. Library is large with online and accessible recourses The practical lectures were good and allowed you to get involved with the animals Leamington always feels safe and there a good number of restaurants and shops

The BA (Hons) Performing Arts course at WCG and WCUC is nothing short of a disgrace. It is a horrific, unprofessional, and deeply unethical programme that should not be allowed to continue. This course is not just a failure—it is dangerous, damaging, and actively harmful to those unfortunate enough to enrol.

From the outset, students are subjected to an appalling culture of bullying, favouritism, and emotional harm. The course leader, Liam, and the teaching staff are unfit for their roles. They are egotistical, clueless, and completely devoid of empathy or basic professional standards. Instead of supporting students, they create an atmosphere of hostility and humiliation. Many students are bullied and singled out, while others are blatantly favoured in a way that destroys any sense of fairness or trust.

The arrogance and nastiness of the staff are matched only by their utter incompetence. They upset students regularly and show no understanding of how to teach or support anyone in their development. This toxic environment has driven numerous students to leave the course, leaving entire year groups with as few as four students.

The staff’s behaviour goes far beyond unprofessionalism. Sexual misconduct is rife, with members of staff acting inappropriately towards students both in class and online. There have been incidents of staff sending sexually inappropriate messages to students via social media and online chats, and behaving inappropriately during lessons. This creates a predatory and unsafe environment where students are left feeling vulnerable and unprotected.

One staff member accused of sexual misconduct was even allowed to return to their position—a shocking failure of safeguarding that puts students at significant risk. This is an unforgivable betrayal of trust, and the fact that such individuals remain employed demonstrates the institution’s complete disregard for student safety.

On top of everything else, this course routinely forces students to participate in illegal and unethical practices. Students are made to perform in unlicensed shows, in violation of copyright law. This has resulted in copyright holders stepping in to halt rehearsals and nearly cancelling productions. Such actions are not only humiliating for students but also demonstrate a blatant disregard for the law and the integrity of the performing arts industry.

The on-site facilities are shockingly substandard and completely unfit for a performing arts course. Students are expected to work in outdated, poorly maintained spaces that fall far below acceptable standards. There is a lack of proper equipment, rehearsal spaces are inadequate, and the overall environment is demoralising and unsupportive. For a course that claims to prepare students for a professional career in the arts, the facilities are an absolute joke.

There is no actual teaching on this course. Classes are consistently cancelled without notice, and those that do take place are so poorly delivered that they serve no purpose whatsoever. The staff lack the skills, knowledge, and professionalism to teach effectively, leaving students completely unsupported. Communication is virtually non-existent, and students are left to fend for themselves with no structure, guidance, or clarity.

When students try to raise concerns about these issues, they are met with silence or outright dismissal by senior management. The Dean and executive office ignore complaints, sweep serious allegations under the carpet, and refuse to take accountability for the appalling state of this course. This is not just a failure of the teaching staff—it is a systemic issue that implicates the entire institution.

This course is an absolute disgrace. The staff are not only incompetent but actively harmful. They bully students, behave inappropriately, and foster an environment of fear and mistrust. The facilities are substandard, the teaching is non-existent, and the management’s refusal to address these issues is inexcusable.

This course is dangerous, unethical, and damaging.

The BA (Hons) Performing Arts course at Rugby College, part of WCG (or WCUC), is absolutely appalling. It’s honestly hard to put into words just how bad this course is. From the disgraceful staff to the complete lack of support, to the shoddy facilities, this is the worst excuse for education I have ever come across.

The staff are not just unprofessional—they are rude, egotistical, and downright nasty. They seem to take pleasure in humiliating and degrading students. Instead of teaching or guiding us, they insult and belittle anyone who dares to ask for help. The atmosphere is so toxic, it's unbelievable. They couldn’t care less about the students’ development or mental health—it’s all about them. Their attitudes are a joke, and they act like they’re doing us a favour just by showing up (when they’re not glued to their phones, that is).

The facilities? A joke. But worse than the facilities is the absolute lack of any proper teaching. We were left to sit around watching YouTube videos in classes, ignored by staff, and expected to teach ourselves. The contact hours are a disgrace, and even when classes do happen (which is rare), they’re a complete waste of time. There’s no structure, no proper lessons, nothing. Timetables don’t get given out until the day before, and classes are cancelled after they’ve already started. It's total chaos.

And don’t even get me started on the performances. The shows are so bad they make school productions look like Broadway. There’s no effort, no creativity, no skill involved. They’re rushed, poorly put together, and embarrassing. It’s clear the teachers don’t care about putting on a good show—they just want to get through it and go home. The standards are non-existent. It’s shameful that this is even allowed to call itself a degree course.

The most shocking part is that they’ll let anyone in. There’s no audition, no interview, no quality control at all. People who failed lower-level courses are allowed to join the degree without any problem. This isn’t a performing arts course; it’s a dumping ground for anyone who’ll pay. No wonder people are leaving constantly—entire year groups have dwindled down to just a few people.

But what’s even worse is the damage it does to the students. There’s no support, no development, nothing. It’s genuinely damaging to be in such a toxic, neglectful environment. They offer zero help for mental health, despite how many students are struggling. And the rude, degrading behaviour from the staff only makes it worse. This isn’t just bad education; it’s damaging, humiliating, and utterly soul-crushing.

I was forced to leave this course, along with several others. We had no choice but to escape to different universities because staying there would have ruined our futures. The fact that so many students dropped out speaks volumes about how bad it is. The course was damaging us, and leaving was the only way to salvage anything.

This course is beyond words—it’s an utter disaster. Avoid it like the plague. If you value your education, your mental health, and your future, do not even think about enrolling here. It’s not just bad, it’s unbelievably awful. Stay far, far away.

We signed an apprentice to Mechatronics however the put the apprentice on a MOET course. They did this KNOWINGLY because they did not have an electrical tutor. We have gone right through their complaint process which is to say the least extremely unprofessional and biased, with zero acknowledgement. I would not put an apprentice with them. WCG is a profit making organisation that only cares about money. I am happy to take calls from prospective clients of theirs.
