STUDENTS of the Laksamana College of Business (LCB) were given another talk prior to their departure to the United Kingdom for further studies.

The briefing was presented by the Principal of Kensington College of Business (KCB), who is also the Principal for LCB, Ian Pirie.

The 29 students attending the briefing were told of what to expect when they were at the UK to pursue the remaining years of their Business Degrees in their respective choice of Universities.

Among the important information that the principal brought up was health, educational facilities such as library and IT, welfare and accommodation.

He also highlighted the new law that was enforced in March by the UK government on the opportunity for students to be allowed to work in the country for a period of one year after completing their degree programmes.

Yesterday's briefing was held especially for students who have chosen to complete their studies in a twinning programme with Kensington College of Business.

The briefing was followed by a Question and Answer session.

Also present were the directors of LCB, Hj Suhaimei Hj Besar and Sri Ramachandran, who is also a director of KCB.

Laksamana College of Business is a subsidiary of Kensington College of Business, London.

Established in Brunei in 2003 as professional business course provider, which is the reason that students are given the opportunity to go on a twinning programme as part of their studies.

In the last talk held on July 4, 2007, students were briefed by representatives from University of Glamorgan and British High Commission in the sultanate.
