A Level Results? Going Through Clearing?

Whether you have just received your A Level results or not, if you don't yet have an offer for a university place, or haven't applied for a university level course yet but would like to start one this September, you can enter into the UCAS (University and College Application Service) Clearing process.

This process helps match prospective students with institutions who still have remaining places for this year. The good news is that Swindon College does have limited places still available, so if you would like to apply for a university-level course with us - many of which are offered in partnership with Oxford Brookes University and The University of Gloucestershire - then you need to apply NOW!

More and more people are choosing to study for a degree at Swindon College because of the following benefits:

• Cheaper fees than university for the same degree
• No upfront fees. And pretty much all of our HE courses qualify for student loans, which means you don't have to start paying them back until you have finished your studies and are earning over £21,000 per year
• Flexible study options which fit around existing work and home commitments
• If you're combining work and study, employers often fund or part-fund study fees as part of their staff development programmes as you can relate your coursework directly to your current role with your employer
• If you're local, being able to stay at home and not have the expense of commuting or moving away to study
• Courses delivered in Swindon from start to finish, meaning you won't have to transfer to a university to complete your studies
• Smaller class sizes than university, meaning we can offer you more individual support throughout your learning.

The courses we still have places for are as follows (click on the links to open the information for each one):
