Fees

Both of our 9-month Access to Higher Education Diplomas will begin in September. We also have a range of shorter courses that will be solely available to students enrolled onto either one of our Access to Higher Education Diplomas to help with their studies, in particular English and maths.

Although our other courses are for people living in the West Midlands county, people from across England can apply for our Access to Higher Education Diplomas. 

Although we do our best not to make changes to our courses, some dates and course details may be subject to change. 

These are full time courses that are residential, with a limited amount of non-residential places available. Non-residential students will be required to attend the college campus on certain days every week.

Fees for both Diplomas:

Fully funded residential places are available together with a bursary to support your learning depending on your individual financial circumstances and other criteria.

If you are unable to be resident at the college there are limited non-residential places on offer and a bursary and travel support is available (subject to eligibility/terms and conditions).

To find out more about the Diplomas and fees contact the Admissions team: [email protected] or tel: 0121 472 0116 between 9:00am and 5:00pm Monday - Friday.
