Higher education

High quality, high satisfaction, affordable prices

At East Riding College, we provide a diverse and exciting range of higher level qualifications with excellent lecturer contact time and support, and very high levels of student satisfaction. You can study some courses full-time and others part-time around your job and family commitments.

You could even save thousands of pounds on university degree tuition fees by gaining a level five higher national diploma (HND) or foundation degree with us and going on to do your final year at university with a top-up degree.

Save thousands on tuition fees – you do the maths!

Stay local for your higher education course and you could save £20,000! The average cost of tuition fees for a degree at university from 2012 will be more than £25,000 over three years. Add in accommodation and that’s £40,000* without food and drink!

If you choose to live with your parents while you study towards a HND or foundation degree and then do a top-up degree locally, that would cost £18,000 to £20,000 in tuition fees and there would be no need to pay for accommodation. If you’re an adult with your own home, just compare the tuition fees: Two years with us plus one year at university would cost approximately £5,000 to £7,000 less than three years at the average university.

Please note: The College does not provide accommodation but our guidance team will be able to give advice if you're considering renting.
