Higher National Diplomas (HNDs):
We offer Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) – 2-year full-time practical qualifications, equivalent to the first two years of a degree programme. Students who complete their HND have the option to progress to the final year of a degree course at university. Full-time courses consist of 12-16 hours study per week. International students on full-time courses must study a minimum of 15 hours per week.

Foundation Degree Courses:
We offer Foundation Degrees (accredited by Kingston University, TVU and St Mary’s University College) – a more vocational 2-year qualification aimed at mature students who are already working and wish to progress in their chosen career. Again, successful students have the option of progressing directly to the final year of a degree programme at university.

BA (Hons) Top-up Year Degree Courses (in partnership with Thames Valley University):
For HND students who wish to stay on at West Thames College to complete their honours degree, we offer BA (Hons) top-up year degrees in creative arts subjects in partnership with Thames Valley University.
