What is College Higher Education (CHE)? College Higher Education (CHE) is an alternative route to gaining a University Degree. Students study for their undergraduate programme in a College environment.
Colleges have very high standards of teaching and learning as they are monitored for Quality Assurance by both QAA and Ofsted.
Colleges offer a wide range of university level courses including Higher National Certificates, Higher National Diplomas, Foundation Degrees, Higher Level Apprenticeships and Honours Degrees. Most of the courses can be studied on a full or part time basis.
Through their unique relationships with Universities, Colleges are able to offer routes from their courses to Honours Degrees and other higher levels of study across many subject areas.
These flexible awards offer a ‘2 +1 approach’ that evidence excellent partnerships with awarding Universities. That’s two years at College with 1 more year at University to achieve the full Honours Degree. Still a three year journey to a Degree.
Colleges work very closely with a broad spectrum of local and national companies ensuing that the education and training they offer equips students for future employment.
All Colleges within the REACH partnership have specialist and industry standard resources and equipment, offering some of the best and most up-to date learning facilities in the City and County.
CHE has high overall student satisfaction combined with competitive fees and high levels of tutor contact and support.
