Degree courses, HND, HNCs and Higher Level qualifications

Kendal College offers high quality degree level programmes including those in partnership with the University of Central Lancashire and the University of Cumbria.

Ask about our bursaries and loans for both full and part-time courses that can put degree-level study within easy reach.

If you want to take your qualifications to a higher level, upgrade your job skills or learn something new, our Higher Education courses will provide you with many opportunities. Our students enjoy a special relationship with the Universities, with many students progressing to final years of the full degree courses on completion of their Foundation Degree (FDa), full-time Diploma, HNC/HND or part-time Certificate courses. For some of our programmes progression to a full degree may shortly be available at the College.

Foundation Degrees are aimed at students who want to progress in their careers or return to work after a career break. If you already have A Levels or a Level 3 qualification such as a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma or NVQ, or have completed an Advanced Apprenticeship, then a Foundation Degree/HNC/HND is a good option for you, giving you the opportunity to improve your skills, understanding and knowledge in line with employers needs. You can study all programmes on a full or part-time basis.

Typically a full-time Foundation Degree/HNC/HND takes one to three years, covers three to six modules per year and up to 12 hours attendance per week at college. Please check with the College for fees for 2013.

Part-time Foundation Degrees/HNDs generally take a minimum of three years to complete.

There are a number of grants, loans and bursaries that may be available to full and part-time students to help with the cost of fees, materials, the cost of living and even childcare.

The College can provide you with advice on application and on how to access loans via the Student Loan Company.
