What are the Benefits?

The major advantage of beginning your university career at Stourbridge College is that you can combine the benefits of being a university student with the convenience of studying close to home. For those who are returning to education, this provides the opportunity to build their confidence gradually, in a familiar environment.

For existing students of the college, it provides continuity whilst they settle into university level studies.

In most cases, there will be regular liaison with a link tutor from the university, and plenty of opportunity to visit the university site - you will automatically be a member of the Student Union, and will have full access to the university library, just like any other student.

Who Can Apply?

Don't worry if you don't have a string of qualifications - some of our programmes have no formal entry requirements. There is also the opportunity to start more gradually, with one of our Access Courses. These are particularly beneficial to mature students or those who have no formal qualifications.
