National Lecturers’ Strike - An update for students

As you will probably be aware, the lecturer’s union, the EIS, is involved in a National pay dispute.  This involves lecturers in colleges across Scotland. As well as strike action, the lecturers have voted to undertake a ‘resulting boycott’ and the ‘withdrawal of goodwill’.

West College Scotland is delighted to continue its successful partnership with Business College Syd in Sonderborg, Denmark.

Nine Danish retail students from Business College Syd arrived in Paisley at the end of March, and have just finished three week placements with local businesses.
