Welcome to North Hertfordshire College (NHC). We're really excited that you're thinking about how a Higher Education (HE) course at NHC can help you realise your potential.

We think there are four great reasons for you to choose to study higher education at NHC:

• Everything we do is about helping you realise your potential: we know that you don't just want a certificate when you leave NHC; you want to be ready to take the next step in your career.

• We work with local businesses to bring our HE programmes to life: we know that working with real businesses, and experiencing real business situations, makes a huge difference to your development - and your future employment prospects.

• We'll offer you a really interesting, relevant programme: we know that your programme has to be fun, relevant and interesting. All of our tutors are experts in the occupational areas they teach, and we work really hard to make sure every session is a good one.

• We'll support you as you look to progress to higher levels and into work: we know that NHC is a stepping stone. We'll help you think about, and prepare for, what you want to do next throughout your time with us.

As well as this, there are great benefits to choosing to study locally:

• Cheaper tuition fees
• Saving money all round - particularly on the cost of accommodation
• The chance to build lasting relationships with local employers through valuable work experience
• Being able to work full or part time 12 months a year
• Staying near your loved ones while also getting to meet new friends
