STAY NEAR, GO FAR It’s always made great sense to study closer to home. There are so many factors that make it a very smart investment – from saving on accommodation costs to paying substantially lower tuition fees. This last year more than ever has highlighted the sheer amount of benefits of choosing a Higher Education provider like Hopwood Hall College and University Centre. Our sprawling campus and unique setup has made us particularly robust to the effects of COVID-19. In fact, our students now feel they’re at an advantage over those at other institutions! Our courses help you to develop your critical thinking skills, perfect your research methods and hone your written and oral communication skills in a safe, in-person environment. It’s a great opportunity to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and form lasting friendships and valuable collaborative partnerships with people and businesses in the area. In addition, research also shows that people who study Higher Education are more likely to be employed in occupations classed as professional. So if you have a clear career goal and you aspire to reach senior levels in your chosen field, there’s no need to drift too far from home to get there.

GRADUATE VS NON GRADUATE PAY Higher Education boosts your earnings potential, helping you to make an impact in your career and in life.
