Your college course could open more doors than you think

Choosing what to do after college is a big decision. We want to make it easier to understand your options and how to get there.  Our agreement with Northampton College gives you clearer progression routes into relevant UON degrees. If you achieve the required grades and meet the course entry requirements, you’ll have a clearer pathway to a suitable university course.

Whether you’re studying for a BTEC, T Level, HND or another relevant qualification, we want you to understand how your current course could lead to a degree at UON.

We’re matching Northampton College qualifications with our university courses, so you can see which degrees could be right for you. This means you can make more informed choices about your future and feel confident about what comes next.

You also don’t have to stick to exactly the same subject. The skills you’re learning now could open up other opportunities, too. For example, a course in computing could lead you towards a business degree, while health and social care could be a starting point for subjects such as nursing, paramedic science or sports science.
