For a long time, university was considered the only option for undergraduate or Higher Education study, but in recent years, many students have chosen to a University equivalent course at Further Education Colleges like SWC.
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. Completion of these vocationally led courses often result in direct employment, continued education and training, or they serve as a stepping stone to a Full Honours Degree.
