Higher Education at St Helens College

If you are thinking about studying higher education in September, have you considered staying local and studying at St Helens College? 

We have a wide range of Foundation Degrees and Honours Degrees validated by our prestigious university partners.  This means that you can save money on living and travelling costs by studying at your local College, but you will still graduate with a university degree.  Many of our degree programmes can be studied on a part time or full time basis.  We also offer a variety of HNC/D’s and professional qualifications. 

St Helens College delivers higher education programmes that will enhance your skills and knowledge and provide you with a learning experience of the highest standard.  Student satisfaction is important to us and we were pleased to announce that in 2011, we received 91% student satisfaction rates according to the National Student Survey.  This score was the highest score by any college or university in the North West of England.

The changes in tuition fees and funding for higher education can be difficult to understand and many people believe that they can no longer afford to study on a degree programme.  St Helens College is committed to providing value for money higher education programmes.  Therefore 2012/13 tuition fees for full time Foundation Degree and Honours Degree programmes will be £5,850.  First year students studying on a full time programme will also be entitled to a Programme Learning Resources Package, worth up to the value of £450.

In addition to student loans and maintenance grants, St Helens College has a number of scholarships available through the Government’s new National Scholarship Programme (NSP).  The scheme has been introduced to support students from low income households who wish to study higher education.
