At South West College, we believe in second chances and fresh starts. Our Clearing process is designed to help you find the right course for your ambitions, no matter your circumstances. Whether you’re rethinking your choices, didn’t get the results you expected, or simply decided late in the game, we’re here to help you find your path to success.
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.
Improve your career prospects this September with a part-time course at South West College. From beginner courses to professional level qualifications, we've got you covered.
