Higher Education

Half the cost of University and Just as Good

North West Kent College offers a range of Higher Education (HE) undergraduate programmes at half the cost of university. From as little as £4,995 students can gain a Foundation Degree (FdA/FdSc) affiliated by the University of Greenwich, or a Higher National Diploma/Certificate (HND/C) by Edexcel and improve their chances of employability.

It’s possible to both live in the comfort of your own home and work while studying on many of our HE programmes, which can cut the cost of your education down considerably. The Colleges’ qualifications involve close links to industry, which helps to ensure that you gain valuable experience and get the most of out of your education. After two years at the College, students have the opportunity to top-up their qualification to a Degree or go straight into the industry.
