Courses
We work with selected top universities to provide a number of routes to gaining a degree, including…
Honours Degree
We offer full three-year honours degree courses, delivered with our partner universities. Although you will study at Loughborough College, your final qualification will be awarded by the validating university itself and will be equivalent to receiving a degree directly from them.
Foundation Degree
These qualifications have been designed together with employers to meet the growing demand for highly-skilled people who have an enhanced understanding of their subject and can apply it in the workplace. You can either enter employment after completing the course or choose to ‘top-up’ to a full honours degree.
Top-Up Degree
Successful Foundation Degree and HND students are eligible to progress on to a final year BA or BSc (Hons) degree programme at Loughborough College. This will lead to a degree with honours.
HNC and HND
The BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) and the Higher National Diploma (HND) are widely recognised and highly regarded qualifications. We offer these in variety of subjects and flexible modes of study including part-time, block release, or evening options
Part-Time Courses
Many of our degree courses can be studied on a part-time basis, allowing you to fit studying for a degree around work and family commitments.
What is Clearing?
