HE in FE Support
Overview
As a further education (FE) college, you can now offer Foundation Degrees as part of your provision. With the current emphasis on developing higher skill levels within the workforce, this is the ideal time to introduce or improve your HE provision.
Our expert consultants deliver support for colleges wishing to offer or expand higher education (HE) services. Crucially, we tailor delivery to your specific needs.
Key benefits
- Increased funding through higher unit levels for HE students
- Enhanced provision and progression opportunities, flexible delivery
- Opportunities for collaboration with HE provider and local employers
How does it work?
We work closely with your college to ensure the process is straightforward and effective. We’ve developed this service from our successful Foundation Degree Support Programme, through consultation with a sector focus group. Our support will help you focus on staffing and curriculum development.
