Why study
with CCN HE?

Two Access to Higher Education Science students are sat at a table, working. They are writing in notebooks.

At City College Norwich HE, we recognise that when it comes to university level study, a one-size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone.

Our courses have one crucial difference to those you will find in many larger universities: they have been designed to fit your life and career aspirations. If you choose to study with us, you will benefit from:

  • A Childhood Studies student is sat at a table, with their laptop. Sitting at the table is a model baby. The student is smiling and looking towards the front of the classroom.

    Flexible study

    Our teaching is condensed, usually into two days a week, to allow you to combine your studies with work and other commitments you may have.

  • An Access to Higher Education: Humanities and Social Sciences student is sat at a table in the library. They are discussing a book with a teacher, who sits next to them.

    A local and affordable option

    Most of our students are from the Norfolk and Suffolk area, attracted by the many benefits of studying close to home.

What our students
say about us

Three Leadership Management students are sat at a desk, smiling. One has their hand up.

Results from the 2024 National Student Survey (NSS), which is carried out by the Office for Students (OfS), showed high levels of satisfaction amongst students on our university-level courses. 

For example;

  • 96% of our students said staff were good at explaining things
  • 94% of our students said staff often made the subject engaging
  • 93% said their course challenged them to achieve their best work
  • 92% of our students felt free to express their ideas and opinions

  • A student and teacher sat opposite each other at a table, discussing work

    Great support

    Another distinctive feature of our courses is our smaller class sizes. This ensures you get all the support you need throughout your course. A real benefit of our smaller, specialist community is that your lecturers and pastoral support are accessible to you and available to help when you need them.
