Our expanding portfolio of university-level courses means we are able to help you achieve your future career goals. Last year over 400 students studied Higher Education courses with us, achieving a range of qualifications including Higher National Certificates (HNCs) and Diplomas (HNDs) and Foundation Degrees (FdAs).

We deliver 14 courses with direct funding from the Higher Education Funding Council. In addition we work in partnership with six leading universities in the Midlands to ensure an inspirational learning experience.
