It’s that time of year - are you still looking for a course?

Don’t miss out on these exciting opportunities!

Here at City College Oxford we offer a great range of Foundation Degree Programmes, Diplomas, and Undergraduate & Postgraduate courses.

Everyone knows that this is busy time of year for universities with school leavers starting out on their courses. However significant numbers of people start their first degree course after some years of life experience. Those who do this often say that they find studying much easier than when they were at school, that they get far more out of it and are very motivated.

Trends show that higher education is still very important despite changes to fees in the UK and some changes to visas for students from abroad. Research shows us that in the UK over the last ten years first degree students increased by 22.3%, postgraduate research students by 20.3%, and postgraduate taught students by 7.7%

More students are coming from abroad too. Over the last ten years the proportion of non-UK, undergraduate students increased from 9.7% to 14.0%, while the proportion of non-UK postgraduates increased to 35.5%. There is also an increase in older age groups taking up studies during the last academic year.

Here at City College Oxford we work with students of all ages from across the world. We are experts at working internationally and deliver high quality accredited course in a cross-cultural learning environment which our students say they find beneficial and enjoy.

City College Oxford offers the added benefit of teaching English language programmes. This enables our students to bring their English language skills up to academic requirements for British Universities. So many of our international students want to study in the UK and City College Oxford helps them reach their goals.
