Studying a Higher Education qualification at College is an affordable alternative to traditional university study. With lower fees, smaller class sizes, more flexibility, and hands-on practical learning throughout, our Higher Education programmes enable you to achieve your ambitions your way.

Our friendly Students’ Unions host a variety of social activities, trips and events, bringing together students from across our Colleges. As a student, you can join a diverse range of clubs, societies and sports teams, with opportunities to take on leadership positions as a Students’ Union President or Officer, helping to shape the student experience at your College.

We are not able to provide our students with accommodation at any of our sites, but there are plenty of private and student rental options near to all our campuses. 

All of our College campuses have excellent transport links by bus or rail with lots of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops nearby.
