Swindon College is supporting the first Universities Week, which aims to highlight the role of universities and higher education colleges in the UK.

Swindon College is holding an online open week, which runs until Saturday, for anyone considering taking a university level qualification.

The college’s online open week will include advice and information about bursary awards and what university level qualifications are available to study at the college and the pathways to higher education courses.

People will be able to see the first-hand experiences of a range of students who are currently studying higher education via blogs.

Swindon College’s new higher education prospectus will also be accessible on the website.

Swindon College works in partnership with the University of Bath and Oxford Brookes offering a number of franchised full and part-time higher education programmes.

Andrew Miller, principal of Swindon College said: “We hope that people in Swindon can join us online to explore what the college has to offer.”
