- Apprenticeships Apprenticeships are a way of studying for a qualification whilst being paid. They are available at all levels including the new government initiative of Degree Apprenticeships where you will achieve a degree upon completion. "Earn whilst you learn".
- Foundation Degrees (Video) Foundation Degrees are a great alternative to obtaining an University education if a student isn't ready for a full degree. Foundation degrees focus on a particular job or profession and have no set entry requirements to get a place. They take 2 years to complete and at the end of this, you can "top up" your Foundation Degree to a full Honours degree with another year of study. All eight WON partners offer Foundation Degree programmes.

They are highly valued by employers and can also count towards membership of professional bodies and other employer organisations. All eight WON partners offer HNC's and HND's.
