Building accessibility

There are two disabled toilets located on the first and second floors which can be accessed by the lift. Other toilets are located between levels and can only be accessed by the staircase. Classrooms are located on the first, second, third and fifth floors of the building.

If you have mobility needs, in the event of an emergency, you must inform your tutor, who will advise you of evacuation arrangements.

WSET UK bursary scheme

WSET operates a bursary scheme which is designed to help potential students in the UK who would otherwise be unable to take a WSET qualification due to financial hardship. Bursaries can be awarded to fund between 25% and 75% of the cost of any WSET qualification, depending on the individual circumstances of each applicant. Applications for funding under the WSET UK Bursary Scheme should be submitted by email to bursary@wsetglobal.com. The applicant will then be advised of the full application process. All applications for funding under the WSET UK Bursary Scheme are subject to approval and are at the discretion of the WSET Board of Trustees.
