Higher education

Studying a Higher Education programme at a Further Education college instead of university is an option rapidly growing in popularity.

Around 10% of all Higher Education students are doing their course at a Further Education college.
One of the biggest benefits of choosing college over university is affordability – you can live at home and save thousands of pounds on accommodation costs.

Another benefit is the more individual approach to learning: at Oxford & Cherwell Valley College you will typically be in a small-sized class with an industry-experienced lecturer who will give you individual attention and support.

The National Student Survey Results for Oxford & Cherwell Valley College (published recently by Ipsos-MORI) show that 95% of our HE students who took part in the survey reported that they were satisfied with the quality of their course this compares to a national average of 83%.
