Why study a university-level course at NPTC Group of Colleges?
Local
You do not need to move away from home to study, making it easier to fit in with your work and family life.
Affordable
Fewer travel costs and no need to move away from home. This can keep your living costs down to a manageable level.
Flexible
Our university courses often have full-time and part-time study routes available. We try to organise the timetable so you can still work or carry out family commitments whilst you are studying.
Supportive
Class sizes are generally smaller than at university, enabling you to receive more individual attention and guidance from your tutor. Our dedicated HE Study Coach is also available to support you throughout your course.
Career Focused
Accelerate your earning potential. Gaining a higher level qualification can give you the edge when looking for career and promotional opportunities. You gain higher level employability and industry-specific
skills.
Forward Thinking
Our graduate support resources provide you with interview, life, and employability skills, helping you build your future after graduation. You can also join our Alumni; an established global community of former students, a ready-made network of contacts and lifelong friends.

The National Student Survey (NSS)
The NSS is a high-profile annual census of nearly half a million students across the UK and has been conducted annually since 2005.
The NSS gathers students’ opinions on the quality of their courses which helps to:
• inform prospective students’ choices
• provide data that supports universities and colleges to improve the student experience
• support public accountability.
Every university in the UK takes part in the NSS, as do many Colleges.
Graduate Outcomes
The Graduate Outcomes Survey is the biggest annual social survey in the UK and captures the perspectives and current status of graduates. All graduates who completed a higher education course in the UK will be asked to take part in the survey 15 months after they finish their studies.
Discover Uni
Discover Uni (Previously known as Unistats) is an official source of information about higher education. It includes official statistics about higher education courses taken from national surveys and data collected from universities and colleges about all their students.
Every course that is eligible for Discover Uni will have a widget at the bottom of the course page with a link to more statistics and information via the Discover Uni Website. The widget will look something like one of the two pictures below.
Due to our small class sizes, there is sometimes not enough data gathered for the discover uni widget to display statistics, in this case, the widget will look like the below. You can still follow the link to see course information.
