Our University partnerships

Several of our Higher Education courses are in partnership with universities as a validating partner. Validation is where an established Higher Education provider validates courses that a different provider delivers. This means your course is conveniently located at one of our college campuses, but you get a Higher Education qualification from an accredited university.

We have partnerships with both the University of Cumbria and the University of Hull.
