Well, besides being WhatUni Student Choice Awards winner for Student Support this year, we’re also passionately different.Our offer is about combining the academic quality and facilities of a uni (our degrees are validated by the likes of Manchester Metropolitan University and Sheffield Hallam University) with the support, industry focus, practical learning and personal approach your students would get at a college (all for a very good price too).

Here’s how we do it:

Employing tutors with current or previous industry experience and connections, so students know they’re getting the skills from someone who’s already done or is still doing it
Offering courses with a clear employment outcome and a clear focus on preparing your students to excel
Keeping classes small so there’s always room for students to ask questions, get answers and make close connections with their peers, tutors, support teams and importantly – industry
Building and redeveloping our campuses so students learn in amazing, industry-standard facilities
