Everything we do at NHC is about preparing you for your next steps. You might be at NHC already, or another college, and looking to progress from your level 3 qualification to higher levels. Or maybe you want to go to university to do a degree but don’t feel quite ready and so studying with us will help prepare you for degree level study. Or perhaps you are in work and want to upskill or change your career.
Whatever your circumstances, we hope that you will find that our HE courses will fit with your needs.
Here’s some reasons to study at NHC:
- 95% of our students who graduate from one of our HE courses progress to employment or further study – 3.6% above the national average.
- Our courses are designed in consultation with employers and we offer industry-standard facilities
- You will save money compared to traditional universities and studying locally means you will save on accommodation and other living expenses
