The college's rapid expansion also generated a number of student and staff complaints, described in The Guardian in 2014 and in the BBC Radio programme Face the Facts broadcast on 26 February 2015. The BBC programme aired allegations that between 2012 and 2014 the college offered a poor learning environment with large classes and over-crowding and some student work rejected as sub-standard by its external examining body after having been initially passed with high marks by the college.
