College prospectus in line for award
THE prospectus published by Doncaster College to lure undergraduates has been shortlisted for a national award.
Their degree course book, which also includes a feature-packed CD, has been shortlisted for the FE First Awards 2008 in the Best Higher Education Prospectus category after marketing staff took a different approach to most universities in producing the prospectus with only core details in the paper-based booklet and most other information on an accompanying CD.
Features on the CD included videos, pictures and more in-depth details of courses, features and Doncaster as a whole.
Charlotte Hill, the College's Head of Marketing, said: "We undertook market research and found out this was what the students wanted and it's gone down extremely well with them."
This year more students than ever have enrolled on courses at University Centre Doncaster. Learner figures are up by more than 10 per cent and more local students are deciding to study locally - 337 new Doncaster students have signed up to study at the Centre and 452 Doncastrians are coming back for more.
FE First Awards winners will be announced on Monday, November 24.
