Our work
The Partner College Network works on a broad range of objectives that encompasses:
- the delivery of higher education within further education and
- joint work on a range of initiatives related to widening participation and access.
The network forms part of a broader commitment to regional development, in particular to the regeneration of the Thames Gateway.
It also offers HNC and HND programmes, Levels 4 and 5 of honours degrees, some honours degree programmes, and a growing portfolio of foundation degrees (Fds).
