HE and FE courses
We constantly evaluate our courses to reflect the needs
of business and universities in this dynamic
industry.
Students can join a computing/ICT course at any level and
progress to higher levels in a structured manner. We also offer the
opportunity to study at Higher National level at the college.
All courses are delivered in small groups, by tutors with
industry backgrounds. All students are entitled to individual
learning support dependent on their needs.
These courses are designed to develop competence in different
areas within one course, developing the broad mix of skills
employers or universities look for. Students can choose to
specialise in areas like systems support.
