Studying full-time further education

 

Get into work or university with a vocational course

Our exciting range of full-time further education courses will help you get the skills to go into full-time employment or the UCAS points you need to get into your first choice university. You can choose from more practical, hands-on courses and those that are more classroom-based. Whichever you choose, you'll be building up your knowledge and skills by doing things you're really interested in, rather than spending most of your time on theory.

Browse or search by using our course finder.

If you're looking for information about full-time higher education (degrees etc) try our higher education page.

Advanced Level Courses

Students can do A-levels and other advanced level courses in combination with vocational BTEC courses.

They can even study at both Headlands School and the College as part of our combined package.

Things you probably didn't know about A-Levels and advanced level courses at East Riding College... 

• Every College A-Level student got into their first choice uni (3 years running!) 
• You can combine A-Levels and other equivalent courses - they're all worth UCAS points
• 1 in 4 students accepted into university now has a vocational qualification
• We offer the Extended Project qualification - worth UCAS points and prized by universities

 

Combined vocational and A-level packages

You can combine vocational courses and A-levels if you attend our Beverley or Bridlington campuses.
