Why nothing should stop you from reaching higher heights

Opportunities to study for a degree are more flexible and supportive than ever at Walsall College.  Which makes it much easier for you to train for the career you want through our higher education qualifications.

Part-time and full-time courses can be studied around your family, work and other commitments.  You can achieve year-long standalone higher education qualifications linked to a range of industries – and then complete a full honours degree

So, if you’ve dreamed of getting a degree then there’s nothing stopping you from going for it this September.

Online and adaptable

We recognise that people have different circumstances, qualifications and learning needs when they look to study here.  This is reflected in the range of support services we offer.

There are plenty of study resources online so you can get ahead or catch up as and when you are able to.

And if you ever find your timetable or hours of study to be a challenge, we will work with you to try and find a suitable solution that ensures you are not left behind.
