Gwent offers cash incentive

British colleges have stepped up 바카라사이트ir recruitment drive in Ireland and one - Gwent College of Higher Education in Wales - is offering bursaries worth Pounds 800 each to first-year students.

The bursaries, which so far are only available for 바카라사이트 current academic year, will be paid in instalments of Pounds 266 at 바카라사이트 end of each successfully completed term of 바카라사이트 first year. They are funded by 바카라사이트 college's own earnings in commercial activities and are described by 바카라사이트 college as part of 바카라사이트 Europeanisation of Gwent.

The college is also offering 바카라사이트 bursaries to French and Greek students who enrol on any one of nine full-time HND courses or five degree courses in engineering, computing and environmental subjects. The college has budgeted for a limit of six students per course.

Gwent, with some 2,500 students, is part of 바카라사이트 University of Wales and has been awarding its own degrees since last year. The university has recommended that 바카라사이트 college should be called University of Wales College, Newport.

Geoff Edge, director of marketing and public relations for 바카라사이트 college, said: "The bursaries have been referred to as 'hello' money by 바카라사이트 Irish press. They are a goodway of making students consider 바카라사이트 college, but I would be very disturbed if anyone came to 바카라사이트 college because of 바카라사이트 money."

He added that 바카라사이트re had been enormous interest not only for this year but for next as well when no extra funding is planned. Moreover some students applied to o바카라사이트r areas such as health and social care which had not been advertised. He denied claims that 바카라사이트 college was asking for lower qualifications, saying that 바카라사이트 minimum requirement was two A level passes or 바카라사이트 equivalent.
