So why study locally?
Vast choices
National Certificates, Higher National Certificates, Higher National Diplomas, Ordinary and Honours Degrees available on your doorstep.
Savings on accommodation costs
According to the NUS, last year the average weekly cost for university accommodation was £98.99 – that’s not including food, travel, study materials or alcohol.
Relationships
An advantage for some people attending a local college and university is that they are able to maintain some of their local network of relationships including family and friends. These connections can represent a valuable support structure for some young people. The value of going away is that people have the opportunity to build new relationships and get out of their comfort zone, however the reality is that some people are not ready for this kind of change, which may cause them to fear unknown situations.
Option to study part-time
60% of our students are studying part-time, combining their studies with work.
If you change your mind, you are not committed to living at home for your entire degree. Through our university partnership arrangements you may start your degree, HNC or HND with us, then when you are more prepared to fly the next, you can complete your degree at one of the other 12 colleges across the network.
