A new year and a new look at higher education for those wanting to start a degree course

Jan. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Coventry’s newest highest education provider, Coventry University College, is holding an open day next week for people who may be interested in doing a full-time or part-time degree course.

The open day takes place on Tuesday 15 January between 4 – 7pm.

The College, which opened in September 2012, is based in the Armstrong Siddeley Building in the heart of the Coventry University campus and offers degree courses at an affordable price.

Coventry University College offers a range of study programmes to achieve academic qualifications in a variety of subject areas. Its Foundation Year courses are ideal for those who need or want an alternative route in to higher education.

Once successfully completed, the foundation year will provide a route in to a range of further study within Coventry University College or progression on to courses at Coventry University, subject to meeting relevant entry requirements.

The College also offer HNCs, HNDs and Honours Degree courses, and visitors to the open day can choose to sign up for a degree or build up to a degree by taking the HNC, then HND and then top up to a degree.  There is also the option of attending University on a Saturday and complete a degree in just four years.

Coventry University College Chief Executive, John Dishman, said:

“Since we opened our doors in September, our courses have proved very popular, especially with people who are already working and want to study part-time in order to enhance their career prospects.

“We provide a new concept in higher education because our courses are designed to integrate study into the life that you lead.

“Gaining higher-level skills and qualifications is really important and that is why we are pioneering this new way of studying. By taking one level at a time you can spread your progression over a fixed period to fit in with your other commitments.”

The open day takes place at the Armstrong Siddeley Building on Coventry University Campus on Tuesday 15 January between 4 – 7pm. The nearest public car park to Coventry University College is the Grove Street car park in the city centre.
