At South West College, every course is a stepping stone toward the future you envision. No matter where you are on your journey—whether you're re-evaluating your options, overcoming unexpected setbacks, or making a late decision—your path to success is still wide open. We’re here to guide you, offering opportunities that align with your goals and empowering you to turn your ambitions into reality.
At South West College we know that education is a lifelong pursuit and that no two educational journeys are the same. As such, we are proud that all our courses and opportunities are available and suitable to adult learners of any age and can be made to suit your lifestyle and work-life commitments.
At SWC students can choose from a range of full-time and part-time Higher Education courses, across a number of curriculum areas in levels such as Higher Level Apprenticeships, Higher National Diplomas, Higher National Certificates and Foundation Degrees.
HLA Connect is a complimentary and comprehensive support service where we link employers with higher level apprenticeship applicants.
The fully online programmes offer the same quality provision as equivalent on campus programmes, but with the flexibility to fit your studies around your commitments.
This unique event will provide the opportunity for parents, guardians and young people to have a personal video or voice call appointment with a member of the Higher Education curriculum team at South West College.
