No need to commit to four years of study at university – at college, you can take each year at a time.
And by doing so, you could gain a recognised qualification for every year of study.
Treat college as a‘ stepping stone’ – study for an HNC, then HND, then choose whether to progress to later years of a degree course at university or college.
Studying closer to home will mean lower living, travel and study costs than going away to university.
We have flexible learning options – fulltime, part-time, online and even some non-standard hours choices – to fit in with your home, family or work life.
Our close links with local industry mean that you could gain real-life work experience while you study.
You’ ll enjoy smaller class sizes than you would at university, so the whole teaching / learning experience is more supportive and personal.
For those still at school, you could start your higher education journey and even complete the equivalent of the first year of a degree course before leaving school!
For adults thinking of returning to education, did you know that 18 % of our students are over the age of 40 – we’ ve got courses for everyone!
We have some fantastic facilities, and a superb student support team who are on hand to help you with any questions you have around funding, applications or employability.
