Study a Degree Locally with CCN HE

Making the right decision about which degree course to take doesn’t have to mean leaving home. If you are considering taking the next step in your education, but would prefer to stay local, then City College Norwich Higher Education is a great alternative to traditional universities, offering flexible courses, lower fees, and smaller class sizes.

Our higher education courses allow you to study for a recognised degree-level qualification while continuing to live at home, work locally, and stay connected to your community.

Whatever stage you are at, whether you are a college leaver looking to take the next step or an adult learner returning to education, studying with CCN HE is a flexible route to higher education.

A degree without moving away

Studying close to home means you can achieve the qualifications you need without the added pressure of having to relocate. You will be able to study in a familiar environment, with lecturers who understand both the subject and the local industries you are hoping to get into.

Our degree-level courses are designed to be practical, career-focused, and accessible, making them perfect for students who prefer a more personal learning experience. We offer degree courses in Social sciences, Zoology, and Youth Work to name a few.

Ideal for college leavers

If you’re finishing college and thinking about your next step, studying a degree whilst living at home can give you the best of both worlds:

• Lower overall living costs – you’ll save on rent, bills and even food shopping.
• Enjoy home comforts – study and live in a space that’s familiar and safe, and you don’t have to miss out on home cooked meals.
• Support where you are – stay close to your family and existing support network, while also benefiting from enjoying new experiences and meeting like-minded people.
• More flexibility - it can be easier to fit study around work, family commitments, or other responsibilities when you’re local.

A flexible option for those returning to education

Returning to education later in life can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. CCN HE welcomes adult learners who want to upskill, change careers, or finally complete a degree they put on hold.

Many of our students balance study with work, family, or other commitments. Studying locally makes that possible, offering flexibility without compromising on quality.
