Why study a University-level course with us?
Entering a University-level course can be a step in the right direction for those seeking further opportunities for employment or career progression, demonstrating a invested interest in professional and personal development.
Higher education consists of more than a standard three year undergraduate degree, with opportunities to study for shorter periods of time while still receiving a qualification promoting advancement.
University-level
You can study degree-level qualifications at EKC Ashford College.
With small class sizes and competitive tuition fees, our range of HNC (Higher National Certificate) courses in Electronic and Electrical, Mechanical, and General Engineering are a great choice for those looking to study higher education.

“The things I enjoy most about studying here are the practical elements.
We actually get to build all the different types of circuits that we learn about as well as an in-depth look at the theory side of things.”
