Still Not to Late to Study for a Degree

Despite record numbers signing up for degree programmes at University Centre Doncaster, there are still places left on some courses.

This year has seen the Centre’s higher education learner figures shoot up by over 10% on this time last year.  Recent research has shown that students are increasingly choosing to study locally and in response to impressive levels of demand the University Centre has made additional places available on all higher education courses.

Places are now available on full and part time courses such as Applied Social Science, English, Business Management, Sports Studies and a range of Education/ Teaching and Performing/ Creative Arts programmes – and students could save up to £2400 by studying at the Centre, operated by Doncaster College.

The Centre is offering two unique bursaries to help students this September, aimed at keeping talent local.

The Doncaster Education City Bursary is available to any such higher education student who studied at Level 3, either at Doncaster College, Dearne Valley College or any secondary school in the Doncaster Council area in the past two years and is worth £400 a year.

The Doncaster College Bursary is available to any such higher education student who is in receipt of any means-tested support from their Local Authority and is also worth £400 a year. Students can qualify for both bursaries.

Fees and bursaries for part-time higher education students enrolling from 2008 onwards are usually calculated as a proportion of the full-time fee and bursary, dependant on how long it takes to complete the programme.

And fees for the centre are lower than almost every university in the country at £2,700 per year.

Further details on all the courses available can be found at http://www.don.ac.uk/ or by calling 0800 358 7474.
