Local Partnerships for Foundation Degrees

We’re keen to open the chance to benefit from higher education to as many people as possible, and one of the ways we do that is through partnerships with other education providers in the region.

So if you live in Weston-super-Mare, for example, you can still live at home and study locally.  We have a thriving partnership with Weston College and other FE colleges and specialist providers, who deliver our vocationally-based foundation degree courses.  You have the option of applying for a third year of study to ‘top-up’ to an associated honours degree if you do well on your course. 

Here’s a list of our partners in education (in alphabetical order)
