Higher Education Courses

Greenwich Community College runs a wide range of Access to Higher Education and Foundation Degree programmes in partnership with the University of Greenwich.

Foundation Degrees

Foundation degrees are employment-related higher education qualifications which have been designed with employers to meet their requirements for skilled individuals able to apply specialist knowledge in the workplace.

The programmes run for 2 years at GCC with the option of completing the final honours year at University. They combine study with work-based learning and practical work experience.
Increasingly, employers see foundation degrees as good for business because they:

  • Enable them to recruit ready-prepared employees
  • Increase their employees’ skills
  • Improve management
  • Make their organisations more innovative and responsive to change
  • Give their businesses a competitive edge

GCC offers the following full time Foundation Degree courses in partnership with the University of Greenwich

We also run a range of part time foundation degrees.
