The College caters to all types of students offering both full time and part time modes of study. “Our unique approach within the vocational study pathway caters for your needs, whether you are a fresh school leaver, or already in the world of work,” said a statement.
The full time programme of study is two years leading to a BTEC Higher National Diploma, which means that university credits are earned with each module. These credits will then allow you to transfer directly into a final year Bachelor’s Degree programme of your choice.
As City College partners with the academically acclaimed Portsmouth University, this high profile institution will be a natural choice of progression for many, providing a seamless transition from HND to the final year of Degree studies.
In addition, City College also offers a Bridging Programme to support those students who need to build up skills in general–academic English and study skills.
