Stay local
Our campuses have great transport links via train, metro and bus, enabling you to study close to home, fit studying around your other commitments and save money on university accommodation.
Cost-effective
Studying for a university level qualification at college may cost less than going to university.
What’s more, you can apply for an advanced learner loan to cover the cost of your course and you won’t have to start paying it back until you’re earning over £27,295 per year.
Fast-track
Depending on the course you choose to study at college you may be able to complete a one-year ‘top-up’ course at a university, leading to a full degree*

Flexible
We offer a range of higher education study options – some qualifications are full-time whilst others are offered on a part-time basis, with daytime and evening sessions, to enable you to fit studying around your personal or work commitments.
Career-focussed
Whether you choose a university level qualification to get into the career of your choice, or are already working in the sector and want to improve your employment prospects, our courses will equip you with the skills and knowledge employers are looking and wills set you apart from the rest when you are applying for jobs in the future.
Dedicated
Throughout your higher education course you’ll have a dedicated personal tutor who will encourage and motivate you, ensure you are on-track and meeting your deadlines, and that you get the most out of your course, achieve your qualification and progress to further learning or employment.
Well-connected
We’re proud of our strong links with hundreds of local and national employers and leading universities so we know the skills they are looking for and ensure our courses are always up-to-date and that you will develop the professional and academic knowledge you need to progress to further qualifications or employment.
