Our partnership with South Devon College
The ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ has developed partnerships with institutions around the world with the sole purpose of making higher education more accessible to those people who need something just a little different.
Our Academic Partnerships enable students to enrol for a degree at a partnership institution closer to home, or engage in distance learning ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ“ even when theyÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™re in the middle of the ocean. They are there for those people looking to return to education, or enhance their professional development. Full- or part-time; foundation degree to masters-level ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ“ we cater for a huge variety of needs and aspirations.
Many of our partners offer specialist degrees, unique facilities, and smaller class sizes at a competitive price. And as a student of two institutions, you get the best of both worlds; a supportive learning environment as part of a close-knit community, and a university-level qualification awarded by the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ. YouÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™ll enjoy not only the facilities and services your partnership institution provides, but also all of the additional support and resources you need from us, and youÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™ll automatically become a member of our StudentsÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™ Union, too.
