THE ALTERNATIVE TO A TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY
Based at Farnborough College of Technology, we offer classroom-based lectures, a small campus experience and plenty of personalised support. This makes us a popular choice for college-leavers and mature students alike, who want to study in a down-to–earth setting.
Many of our lecturers have worked in industry. This means they will bring their expertise and experiences to lessons, giving you a full insight into your subject within the classroom and beyond.
We’ve transformed typical three-year degrees into an exciting two-year journey, giving you the chance to achieve your goals even faster. What’s even better is that we offer these degrees at the cost of only two years’ tuition, providing you with excellent value for your investment in a wide range of subjects.
With these degrees, you can:
- Launch your career or dive into another course a whole year earlier, such as pursuing a Master’s Degree or Teacher Training Qualification.
- Enjoy savings on the expenses that come with being a student, allowing you to make the most of your educational experience without breaking the bank.
- Keep more money in your pocket by paying for just two years’ worth of tuition fees, giving you greater financial flexibility and peace of mind.
We focus on giving you the skills and knowledge to kick-start your career, which is why many of our courses are more hands-on than you might expect.
Our two-year accelerated, foundation and honours degrees are awarded by the University of Surrey, a leading UK university based in Guildford with a reputation for outstanding teaching and student satisfaction. The University of Surrey is one of the UK’s strongest professional, scientific and technological universities, and has a world-class research profile.
Our HNC and HND qualifications are awarded by Pearson, the UK’s largest awarding body. Developed in conjunction with employers, students, and professional bodies, BTEC Higher Nationals offer students real experience, opportunities and comprehensive qualifications that will benefit their chosen career.
We typically use classrooms as teaching spaces, which means your classes here will feel more personal, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, receive feedback, and become friends with your classmates.
Your lecturers will get to know you, understand your needs, and provide the support you need to be successful in your studies. You will receive plenty of contact time in lessons and tutorials, with chances to discuss any course matters or personal concerns you may have.
Our small campus is full of plants, natural light, and new facilities that will help you feel good while studying. Plus, you’ll have exclusive access to University Centre study spaces in the College.
Studying a degree at a small institution means your lecturers will know all your strengths and weaknesses, and give you valuable feedback and support to help you go further.
One of the reasons for our popularity with local students is that they can save money by living at home during their studies. Great transport links and free parking means we have no need to offer accommodation!
Not only does living at home give you a great opportunity to save money, but you can also keep any part-time jobs, hobbies, family commitments or the same group of friends while studying for a degree.
