UK colleges offer all the subject areas you’d expect from a university, and many colleges offer full honours degrees. UK colleges are also known for more practical, vocational courses, such as Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) and foundation degrees, most of which are run in partnership with a university, and often allow students to continue to a full degree through a 'top-up' course.

UK colleges provide a very high level of teaching and learning support for students on higher education programmes, although some colleges don’t offer student accommodation like universities do with halls of residence. With this in mind, it’s important you research your accommodation options before you add a college-based course choice to your application.
