Higher Education

Bolton College meets many Higher Education student needs through Foundation Degrees, Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) and Certificates (HNCs), and top-up degrees. Our existing students find that choosing to stay on at college locally, significantly reduces the cost of gaining a Higher Education qualification. Our prices are benchmarked to be highly competitive and offer excellent value for money.

Bolton College scores high in satisfaction rating for its HE provision:
We are delighted to announce that Bolton College came within the top six of other higher education providers in England in the latest National Student Survey, with 100% of our students being satisfied with the registered course that they were studying. We were also sixth overall, with 92% of taught students being satisfied with their course.

We continue to take pride in our standards of teaching and plan to build on this success by expanding our HE provision. The Times Higher Education commented that, in England, overall student satisfaction stood at 85%. Bolton College has exceeded this and will continue striving to give students an excellent learning experience.
