Ten reasons to do an HE programme with us:

2. Flexible Access
   Interested in doing an HE course, but don’t have the right lower level qualifications? You may not need them - having relevant work experience could qualify you to enrol.
3. Minimal Disruption
   Most of our courses are part-time, running just one or two days a week, so you can fit study around other work and personal commitments.
4. Value For Money
   Tuition fees for a typical year of full-time undergraduate study on many of these kinds of subjects at university are more than £3,000. The cost of a year on a foundation degree at East Berkshire College is between £1,000 and £1,500.
5. University Validation
   Courses are validated by our partner universities, which include Bucks NewUniversity, London South Bank University and Thames Valley University .
6. Career Progression
   A degree or HE qualification could greatly improve your career opportunities, lead to higher earnings and more interesting jobs.

   We have strong links with local employers. HE qualifications are developed to meet their needs. Employers know you are not only academically qualified, you also have practical experience.
8. Quality
