Degrees and Higher Education at City College Norwich
Our Degree and Higher Education courses are all about taking you to where you want to be.
We specialise in vocational, career-focused higher education. All of our courses have been developed with employers and progression in mind. Many are part of the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership’s 10 priority sectors.
This means that you will be provided with the skills and qualifications needed to take you further and develop your career.
Outstanding progression to employment and further study
97% of our full time graduates and 100% of our part time graduates are in employment or further study 6 months after completing their degree (Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework 2019). This places our higher education college in the top 10% of providers, for this performance measure.
Flexible study options
Our courses are designed to fit around your life and career aspirations. You can study most courses part-time, meaning you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments.
A partner college of University of East Anglia
We are a Partner College of the University of East Anglia (UEA). This means that our degrees are awarded by UEA, which is a UK Top 25 university (Complete University Guide 2025) and UK Top 30 (The Mail 2025), UK Top 20 for research quality (Times Higher Education Rankings for the Research Excellence Framework 2021), World Top 20 for Health and Wellbeing (QS World University Rankings for Sustainability 2024), World Top 100 (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2024), Athena SWAN Silver Award Holder (since 2029) in recognition of advancement towards gender equality for all (Advance HE).
Another major benefit of our partnership is that all our students get a UEA campus card. This gives you access to the UEA Library and the opportunity to use other facilities.
