About 600 fulltime and 800 part-time students register each year for a variety of professional qualifications. The staff complement at the Worcester campus numbers 80. Skills programmes and learnerships, under the banner of a number of SETA’s, are also presented at this campus.

Campus Life

The Student Representative Council is responsible for organising various social events during the year, ranging from potjiekos competitions, the student ball and sport activities to various charity events. They are also responsible for the campus newspaper that appears quarterly and the student life on the campus.

Within all these activities you will find something for everyone on the campus that will not only enrich your own life but give you the opportunity to learn new cultures, make life-long friends and create memories that will never forget.

Sport

A variety of sporting activities is offered at Worcester Campus, such as athletics, cricket, rugby, netball, hockey, soccer, tennis and volley ball.  Students compete at the summer and winter Inter-campus Sport Challenges against their fellow Boland College students from other campuses.

Culture

Each Campus’ Student Representative Council members have been assigned to a different portfolio and they co-ordinate a range of social activities on and off campus. Some of these activities include debate evenings, arts evenings, a safety awareness week, and blood donor weeks. Various social responsibility projects are also a major part of the academic year at Boland College’s Worcester Campus.

A specific corporate social responsibility project is launched by the winner of the various Mr and Miss Campus events. During the year the students are given the chance to showcase their talents in poetry, dance, song and music which culminates into the main cultural evening. This gives the top performers of the campuses the opportunity to show their peers who in Boland College has the true talent.
