Applications are now open for Higher Education courses starting in 2027 at Wiltshire College & University Centre, offering students the chance to gain university-level qualifications while studying closer to home.
The college has launched its latest Higher Education programme, aimed at school leavers, adult learners looking to develop new skills and those considering a career change.
Courses available from 2027 include business management, computing and cyber security, engineering, animal management and conservation, motorsport engineering, film production and esports.
Wiltshire College says its university-level courses are designed in collaboration with employers and university partners, combining academic study with practical experience to help students prepare for careers in growing industries.
Students can also benefit from smaller class sizes, specialist tutors and local study options, avoiding many of the costs associated with moving away to university.
Nicola Dew, Quality Manager for Higher Education and Compliance at Wiltshire College & University Centre, said: "We know that Higher Education looks different for everyone. Some students progress directly from a Level 3 course, while others are returning to education, looking to upskill or considering a completely new career path.
"Our courses are designed to support those different journeys, offering flexible study options, practical learning and clear progression routes into employment.
"By studying locally, students can gain a recognised qualification while staying connected to their support networks, building valuable industry contacts and preparing for the careers they want."
To help prospective students explore their options, the college is hosting two free online Higher Education virtual open events on Wednesday 8th July and Wednesday 2nd December.
Each 30-minute session will include an introduction to Higher Education at Wiltshire College, followed by subject-specific breakout rooms where attendees can speak directly with programme leaders.
The events are aimed at current Level 3 and T Level students, adults returning to education and anyone considering a change in career direction.
Attendees will be able to find out more about courses, student support, applications and finance, as well as the benefits of studying locally.
More information about Higher Education courses and the virtual open events can be found on the Wiltshire College & University Centre website.
