A Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) at Level 4 is awarded after one year of full-time study at university. Our CertHE programmes are hands-on and practical, with flexible learning options available so you can choose to study full or part time.

CertHEs are a great choice for a wide range of reasons. Your personal or professional goals might mean that you dont want or need a full degree but know that some higher education in your chosen field would be beneficial. You might want to experience university level study, including support and access to facilities, without the commitment of a three year degree.

You can take a CertHE straight from college when you have completed qualifications like BTECs or A-Levels. Some people choose to take a gap year first or spend some time working before they start a CertHE.

A CertHE can lead directly to a career as you will have gained valued skills and experience, or you might choose to continue with further studies.

The course is also available as a two year Diploma in Higher Education (DipHE).
