Studying at the University Centre, with access and links to some of the region’s most dynamic industries and organisations, puts you at the heart of this transformation.

TEF 2023 SILVER

The University Centre’s student experience was judged to be of a “very high quality” while its curriculum was recognised as “aligning with local skills needs, informed by its engagement in a matrix of networks.”

Flexibility

Unlike many universities, our condensed timetables mean that classes take place over two full days in a week, leaving plenty of
free time for study, a part-time job or family commitments.

Personal support

There may be times when you need some learning support, have money issues, need career advice or are struggling to get your head around an assignment; don’t worry, there’s always someone here to help you.
