Higher Education and Degree-Level Study

Our university-level undergraduate courses are delivered at Coleg Gwent but awarded by our trusted university partners. This means you’ll study in a local, supportive college environment while still receiving a degree certificate from a recognised university – you’ll even be invited to your university’s graduation ceremony to celebrate your achievement. Whether you’re looking for a foundation degree, HND, HNC, or another university-level course, we’ve got you covered.

As a Coleg Gwent higher education student, you’ll have access to the full range of resources provided by our university partners, including: University campus libraries Online learning platforms and digital resources Student support services Students’ Union membership and activities

One of the biggest advantages of studying at Coleg Gwent is our small class sizes and personalised support. Unlike large university lecture halls, our friendly, close-knit learning environment means more one-to-one time with tutors, helping you to get the most out of your studies.

Higher education doesn’t have to break the bank. Studying locally means you can avoid high accommodation and travel costs, and as a higher education student, you could be eligible for financial support, grants, and subsidies to help cover tuition fees and living expenses.

Worried about entry requirements? We offer flexible entry routes, and most of our courses don’t require an application through UCAS. Instead, you can apply directly to Coleg Gwent, making the process quicker and easier.
