Higher Education
Take it to the next level.
Aim high. Empower yourself, develop professionally and follow your career aspirations through one of our university-level courses. It’s our job to make it happen for you!
Our amazing range of undergraduate options give you a recognised higher education qualification in your chosen field and unlike many degrees, HNCs (Higher National Certificates) and HNDs (Higher National Diplomas) are vocational, so they can lead straight to a career or act as a stepping stone to a higher qualification, such as a university-level degree course.
We have an established reputation for delivering exceptional university-level courses and are one of the top colleges in the country with Outstanding Ofsted rating.
Our dedicated and talented higher education staff team have your success as their number one priority, and we will do everything we can to get you where you want to go in life. During your time with us we will help you to explore exciting opportunities and ensure you develop the knowledge and skills needed to develop your career.
You will study amongst like-minded individuals in first-class facilities. We'll also help you get all the support you need for the duration of your course, from study advice to help with your finances. Tuition fee and living cost loans are available to cover your course fees, you'll pay nothing back until you've finished and you're earning over £25,000 per year with a repayment period of 40 years.
