Walsall College is inviting prospective students to come and find out about its affordable university level courses at its HI:ED Open Day on Thursday 7th July, from 4pm – 7pm. Boasting a HI:ED achievement rate of 97% and a commendation from the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for Higher Education, the equivalent of Ofsted, Walsall College offers a range of HNC, HND and degree Level 6 courses in subjects ranging from Construction to Hospitality Management and Fashion to Sport.

A range of Access to HE courses from Art and Design to Health Professions are also available and specially designed for adults considering a return to full time education.

The open day will give prospective students the opportunity to speak to tutors about courses, tour the state-of-the-art facilities and speak to the student support team about the financial help available for tuition and living costs.  

Principal and Chief Executive, Jatinder Sharma OBE, commented: “Our qualifications are all about preparing people for the real world. We know what employers want from our graduates and we use our close links with industry to make sure that’s precisely what we give them.

“All enquiries are welcome, from school leavers who have completed their A-levels or Level 3 BTEC qualifications to adults looking to change their career direction or boost their chances of a promotion.

“With the cost of university still on the rise, studying locally has never looked so attractive and our small classes and personalised tuition appeal to students of all ages. We are also constantly looking to improve the student experience and have recently opened The Hub - a stunning new £11m business and sports centre with its own gym, restaurant and business start-up centre, where students can get support to help turn their business ideas into viable commercial ventures.”
