What our students say

“

The Foundation Degree in Business has allowed me to learn about how other companies operate. Each teaching day is different and I’m always learning something new.

Foundation Degree in Business

“

I didn’t get the chance to go to University, but I still felt like I needed that level of education to back me up. If I change employment, my apprenticeship will allow me to enter at a senior position

Meet your lecturer

Will Stallard,

Foundation Degree and BA (Hons) in Business and Management Practice,

I started teaching at Wiltshire College in 1989, running Level 3 and 4 business courses. I then moved to Bridgewater College in 2004 as the Head of Business Studies, and then took on the same role at City of Bristol College in 2008. I returned to Wiltshire College in 2012, taking on a number of interim management roles. I’m now settled as a part-time lecturer in business and computing! My work has taken me all over the world, including Europe, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Mississippi.
