Discover our top reasons below:
Our qualifications are all designed in collaboration with our partners, meaning you'll be learning what employers look for in candidates. You will gain industry-relevant skills that are in demand today, giving you a real advantage when it comes to entering your respective industry and career development.
In addition to comfortable learning spaces and study centres, you will have unlimited access to our industry-standard facilities.

We pride ourselves on providing an open and supportive environment for all of our students. Small class sizes mean one-on-one support will be much easier to obtain when you need it. We also have an extensive student support network offering careers advice and guidance, financial support and additional learning support.
Our qualifications include Foundation Degrees, Bachelor's Degrees, Higher National Certificates and Higher National Diplomas. These qualifications are designed to allow you to top up to a full degree with a final year of study should you wish. We have strong partnerships with local universities, including the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Northampton to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Living at home while studying will save you a significant amount on accommodation costs and living expenses that come with studying away from home, meaning that 100% of the money you invest is on your education and your future. You can also still apply for funding whilst living at home, meaning you won't miss out on anything you're entitled to.
From HNC and HND qualifications, to foundation degrees, we offer a wide variety of university-level courses. Offering fantastic progression, support and excellent facilities, studying whilst living at home could give you a head-start, both financially and in your career.
