If you want to study at university after a break from education, the Higher Education Foundation Course (HEFC) offers access to a number of university courses. Each HEFC single subject is a level 3 qualification and may be viewed by universities as being similar to an A Level.

HE access funds

The Access to Learning Fund (ALF) provides discretionary financial support to help students access and remain in higher education. The ALF is essentially for students who are not eligible for other sources of funding but need financial help to cover the cost of studying.

Weather forces college closures

Northumberland College was forced to close its centres this morning (Thursday) due to the ongoing snow.

All students are advised that there will be no lessons this afternoon or evening at any centres. The college expects to open as normal again tomorrow (Friday).

The college phone system is currently down, so we are unable to take any calls.

Engineers are working hard to fix the problem and hope to have the system back up and running soon. In the meantime, you can email advice.centre@northland.ac.uk or use the Live support service via the button on this home page to access our contact centre staff.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
