Higher Education
Herefordshire College of Technology has a range of Higher Education courses. These are particularly suited to working people who wish to study on a part-time basis in order to enhance their career prospects. We believe that it is important that people are able to access good quality higher education programmes of study locally, without having to lose time and money travelling to out of county institutions.
Our higher education students really appreciate the high level of expertise of our tutors, the excellent support they receive from working in relatively small groups, and the friendly college environment.
