We specialise in vocational courses in both the higher education and further education sectors and continue to grow our portfolio of apprenticeships.
We offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses, as well as some higher-level apprenticeships. Our reputation for excellence means the University is popular with international students and this year we were delighted to win the International category at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2023.
We are committed to providing the best facilities for all our students and have invested over £200 million in our campuses to enhance the student experience and ensure students have the very best, practical environments for their training.
