Short course programmes
There is no academic requirement for entry into many of the Short Courses offered at UCOL. People entering at an introductory level may not have formal qualifications. Short Course programmes are designed to equip you with a level of knowledge, to enable you to progress in your career, change direction or continue on with studying at a higher level.
Don't delay! As places on our Short Course programmes are very limited - approximately 15 places per programme - to avoid disappointment, it is important that you apply as soon as possible.
