Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to Herefordshire & Ludlow College

This prospectus will provide you with a guide to our university-level education programmes – a good choice of high quality courses delivered locally to meet your needs.

Thanks to our successful long-standing partnership with the University of Worcester, we are able to offer a wide range of university-level courses to help satisfy learner and employer demand for Higher Education, available locally in Hereford. The College/University partnership, the Hereford University Centre, also offers a range of public lectures and other activities to raise the educational and cultural aspirations of the communities we serve.

In recent years we have seen increasing levels of interest in higher education, and there are many reasons for this:

Employers’ expectations – employment prospects are generally enhanced for people with higher level qualifications. Excellent personal support and high levels of expertise from our tutors. Good value for money – our fees are competitive and most of our students further reduce costs by living at home; many work to help finance their learning. Strong partnerships – we are a partner of the University of Worcester. Positive learning experiences – our student feedback is very complimentary. The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education reviewed our university-level courses in 2014. The outcome was excellent and several areas of good practice were identified, including:

The effective preparation of students for a higher level of study. The effectiveness of the extensive embedded academic and pastoral support systems. The design of programmes enables students to acquire additional vocationally relevant accreditations.

I hope you will enjoy browsing this prospectus to see what university-level courses are available for you in Herefordshire. Should you require any further guidance, please get in touch with our course tutors who will be delighted to help and advise you.
