For those looking to take their education that one step further, our range of degree programmes will help you in the right direction. Our degree courses offer great flexibility enabling you to study full-time or part-time.
Foundation Degrees
These are equivalent to studying the first two years of an Honours Degree. They are designed to combine academic study with skills required in the workplace. Most courses can be studied for two years full-time, or three years part-time. Assessment is via exams, essays, presentations and practical work. Once completed, you can undertake a full degree at Petroc, Plymouth or another university. Learn more about our degree programmes.
Honours Degrees
The Honours degrees available at Petroc are for anyone who has completed a Foundation Degree in a relevant subject. Your assessment will include a dissertation or special project in the final year of study. See what Hons degrees we have available for you to study.
Access to Higher Education
Access to HE courses help learners prepare for higher-level study, particularly if you don't have the grades you need to study a degree. These courses are specifically designed for learners aged 19 or over and are recognised by universities as an alternative to A-level entry. Take a look at our Access to HE courses.
HNCs
HNCs focus on learning by doing and teach very specific skills relating to a particular job. Many students progress straight on to a career in their chosen industry or use as a stepping stone to a relevant degree. Find out more about our HNC courses.
Higher and Degree Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships allow you to earn while you learn. They are an increasingly popular way to gain hands-on experience, a salary and the opportunity to train while you work. You will need to have suitable employment before embarking on an apprenticeship. Take a look at our Higher and Degree Apprenticeships.
Professional Qualifications
We offer the following professionally-focussed qualifications:
Chartered Management Institute (CMI) courses are for professional managers.
