Clearing for Higher Education at SERC is Open

Clearing is now LIVE at SERC, offering you the opportunity to explore different pathways to your destination.

Potential students can apply directly online to the college and embark on an Higher Education course from September.

Higher Education courses at SERC include degrees, foundation degrees, Higher National Diplomas (HNDs), Higher National Certificates (HNCs) and Higher Level Apprenticeships (HLAs). Our degree and foundation degree courses are validated by Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University and the Open University and you can take a Liverpool John Moores University BSc in Business Management without travelling far from home.

We not only partner with universities, though – we have strong relationships with business and industry, working with employers to ensure that students leave us ready for the next steps in their chosen career. If you choose the HLA option, you will earn while you learn, with most of the training “on the job”.

At SERC, the support systems are in place to help you achieve your goals, with smaller classes and a focus on project based learning – no sitting in lecture halls; you’ll be working on real-life challenges, developing personal and interpersonal skills as you work towards your qualification. 

Courses include workplace experience and many offer the opportunity to travel abroad, all expenses paid, to gain a broader view of your discipline and its place in the wider world.

Heather McKee, Director of Strategic Planning, Quality and Support at SERC, points out that there is more than one pathway to success: “There can be different routes to the same destination, and if you are now re-thinking your options, I would urge you to explore the Higher Education provision on our website and see how SERC can help you along the way to your chosen career. Many of our students find they flourish in our learning environment, where school or university might not have suited them. With a different approach to learning and with smaller classes allowing a more individual focus from tutors, SERC can unlock your future and take you forward with the skills and confidence to progress either to employment or further study and training.”
