Student Enrichment

What is enrichment?

The enrichment programme is a whole range of activities that you can take part in once you enrol at college. Most activities are free (or massively subsidised) and are held on a Wednesday afternoon. Keep your eyes peeled for posters and newsletters with up and coming events. You will also find information on Moodle and here on the college website. To sign up to an activity call into Student Services and talk to one of the Student Liaison Team or email enrichment@oldham.ac.uk
