TO HSDC
Hello and welcome to our guide to Higher Education (HE) courses here at HSDC. We are proud to offer one of the largest Higher Education provisions within a Further Education setting locally. Studying at a higher level (up to degree level) at college is a great way to further your studies whether you are returning to study, continuing after college or studying alongside work - and it is extremely cost-effective! Our courses have much smaller class sizes than traditional university courses, this means that the support you receive is exceptional, with detailed and timely feedback allowing you to improve and excel. From 2023, HSDC will be part of the brand new South Coast Institute of Technology,
working as a collaboration between five Further Education colleges and two universities, backed by more than £13 million in funding from the Department for Education. Institutes of Technology represent the height of technical training. By uniquely bringing together Further Education colleges, universities and businesses, they ensure people can get the skills they need to progress into better paid jobs, and that businesses get the talented workforce they need to thrive.
What’s more, after completing a Foundation Degree or an HND, you can then progress to university to complete the final year of your study. In fact, in some areas, you can complete your full degree at HSDC! Our UAL courses also qualify as the first year of a creative degree with certain partner universities, and these courses are free to those under 19. Please don’t hesitate to visit our website or to contact our Admissions Team for further information, advice and guidance. We look forward to welcoming you into our college community.
