Welcome 

Welcome to University Centre 

Croydon (UCC). 

I am delighted that you are 

considering studying with us. 

Education can be life changing 

and has a huge impact on 

our lives, providing us with 

opportunities we wouldn’t have 

otherwise. 

At UCC, one of the largest and 

most well established colleges 

providing Higher Education in 

London and South East England, 

we are very proud of the success 

of our students, the quality 

of our teaching, the support 

we provide and the excellent 

facilities and resources in the 

centre of Croydon. In 2014, just 

after Ofsted judged the College 

to be good with outstanding 

features our Higher Education 

was assessed by the Quality 

Assurance Agency (QAA) as 

fully meeting UK academic 

standards with four areas of 

commended good practice 

including our approach to 

employability. 

There are other strong reasons 

why you should study at UCC, 

one of which is that the majority 

of our degree programmes 

are validated by the University 

of Sussex, one of the best 

universities in the United 

Kingdom and Europe. You will 

also see that our tuition fees 

are very competitive. We are 

proud to have a diverse range of 

students at UCC and whatever 

your age, background or 

qualifications, we are sure that 

we can help you to realise your 

aspirations. 

I look forward to welcoming you 

as a student of University Centre 

Croydon.

Why Study at 

University 

Centre 

Croydon? 

Quality of Teaching 

In 2014 the QAA, responsible for 

assuring the quality of Higher 

Education in the UK, found that 

UCC fully met the standards and 

expectations of Higher Education 

provision. The QAA review team 

further found the following examples 

of good practice at UCC: 

• The high quality and level of 

support provided for 

non-standard entry students 

during the admissions process and 

the early stages of the programme. 

• The consistent and highly 

accessible support provided 

for students through the 

tutorial system, which makes 

a significant contribution to 

facilitating student achievement. 

• The strategic approach that 

embeds employability across 

the Higher Education provision. 

• Comprehensive information 

contained in University Centre 

Croydon handbooks, which 

students consult regularly and 

find to be very useful and highly 

effective. 

Smaller Class Sizes 

We pride ourselves on providing 

smaller groups teaching typically 

15-20 students per class, which is 

very different from the experience 

offered at many other universities. 

Our commended tutorial system 

provides individual support to 

ensure that you are on track, and 

benefit from the regular guidance of 

your tutors. 

Career Focused 

We are committed to improving 

your career opportunities through 

the programmes we offer. That is 

why we develop your employability 

skills and bring employers into UCC 

to meet you to ensure you have the 

best career options on graduation. 

Best Value 

We offer degree programmes 

validated by a top UK university at 

a price that is very competitive and 

cheaper than many prospective 

students imagine. We believe that 

our pricing increases accessibility 

to Higher Education to many whilst 

not compromising on quality and 

student experience. 


Continuous Improvement 

All of our courses are regularly 

reviewed by external examiners, our 

teaching team and by students. This 

is to ensure that we continue to meet 

academic and professional standards 

and prepare you for employment and 

the next stage of your career. 

Individual Support 

Here at UCC we pride ourselves on the 

support and individual attention we 

give to everybody. All students have 

individual reviews with their personal 

tutor at least three times a year, when 

targets are set and reviewed. Before 

this review, the full teaching team 

will have met to discuss how things 

are going, and to identify what you 

need to do in order to achieve your 

target grades. You and your tutor then 

agree a plan of action to make this 

happen, and this is discussed regularly 

throughout the year in a supportive 

and constructive way. 

Expert Tutors 

Our tutors are academically well 

qualified with great professional and 

commercial experience. They support 

you not only to achieve your best on 

your programme but also help you to 

develop the skills that will make you 

more attractive to employers. 

Outstanding facilities 

The University Centre provides some 

of the best study facilities in London. 

UCC offers a state-of-the-art Learning 

Resource Centre, and library, lecture 

theatres and social learning spaces 

designed to encourage self-directed 

and group study opportunities. 

The dedicated Higher Education 

learning space is designed to help 

you study in a sociable environment. 

There are study pods for group 

collaborations and a soft seating area 

for relaxed discussions, as well as a 

large student common room. We also 

provide open access I.T. areas. 

Convenient Timetabling 

We offer streamlined timetables 

to our students. This enables our 

students to plan for independent 

study and fit the course around other 

commitments. 

Timetables are usually available at 

least one month before registration. 

Only £6,000 per year

Why Come 

to Croydon?

London’s 

Best 

Connected 

Borough 

University Centre Croydon is 

situated in the centre of Croydon, 

a thriving multicultural centre with 

strong African, Caribbean and Asian 

influences and links with many other 

ethnic communities. Croydon has 

one of the largest populations in 

London, with over 384,000 

residents. 

Croydon is very well connected and 

transport links to UCC are second 

to none. Trains, trams and buses 

stop right outside the University 

Centre. Central London is only 12 

minutes away by train, and it takes 

just 15 minutes to get to Gatwick 

Airport. Croydon also has London’s 

only tram network, transporting 

over 276 million people a year. 


The London Overground links up to 

West Croydon train station, creating 

direct connections to Whitechapel, 

Shoreditch and Hoxton ensuring 

Croydon’s reputation as London’s 

best connected borough. 

As well as providing unrivalled 

transport links and huge retail 

offerings, Croydon boasts more 

green space than most neighbouring 

boroughs with over 

120 parks. 

Excellent 

Location 

UCC is in the centre of Croydon 

which has excellent transport 

connections to the rest of Greater 

London and the South East of 

England. 

Croydon is one of the UK’s largest 

commercial centres and has been a 

focus for shopping in the South East 

since the 13th century when Surrey 

Street Market was first established. 

Croydon is ranked highly in the UK 

retail rankings and is well-known 

for its busy retail facilities. The 

local economy is thriving and the 

planned £1 billion shopping centre 

developed by Westfield Hammerson 

will transform the town centre and 

bring further economic prosperity 

to the area. Another added benefit 

is that the cost of living is lower than 

in many other parts of London whilst 

the services and entertainment 

facilities are highly rated. 

restaurants, brasseries, bistros 

and cafes offering cuisine from 

around the world. The greatest 

concentration is in the town centre 

where the thriving night-time 

economy attracts 20,000 people 

every weekend to its wide range 

of bars, nightclubs and traditional 

pubs. As London’s ‘third city’, 

Croydon offers a rich artistic 

heritage as well as providing 

opportunities for a varied and 

vibrant social life. 

A branch of Boxpark, the world’s 

first pop-up mall, opened in 

October 2016 and is situated 

directly opposite the University 

Centre – fusing the concepts of the 

modern street food market and 

placing local and global brands 

side by side, to create a unique 

shopping and dining destination. 

Our central location means the 

bars, shops, restaurants and leisure 

facilities that Croydon has to offer 

are right on your doorstep. 

Croydon has a large variety of

Level 3 Progression 

Many of our students are so satisfied 

with their Level 3 course at Croydon 

College that they choose to continue 

to study with us at University Centre 

Croydon. Many of our college level 

courses fit well with the degree level 

courses on offer at UCC so you’ll 

find there is a smooth transition 

between Level 3 and starting your 

degree. As a UCC student, you will 

have access to extra facilities such as 

the Social Learning Space, Student 

Common Room and UCC library. 

UCC offers the opportunity to get 

a top quality University of Sussex 

degree without the conventional 

university fees price tag. So studying 

locally can be both financially 

rewarding and a career enhancing 

option. 

Guaranteed Offer 

If you are currently studying a Level 

3 course at Croydon College we will 

guarantee you an offer* on our UCC 

Foundation Degree and Honours 

Degree courses. 

Please read the ‘How to Apply’ 

section in this prospectus for details 

of how to apply or you can contact 

the Admissions Team for help with 

your application. 

*Your guaranteed place will be subject to you meeting the entry 

criteria for the individual course. 


Fees and 

Funding 

“You only start paying back your loan when 

you’re earning over £25,000 per year.” 

We are committed to making our 

Higher Education programmes 

accessible and cost effective. We have, 

therefore, set our fees for full-time 

students in 2019/2020 at just £6,000 

per year which is significantly less than 

the £9,000 per year or more that most 

universities charge. 

The important thing to remember 

is that the tuition fee loan scheme 

means that you pay none of these 

fees up front. There are a range of 

government loans and grants to pay 

for your studies as well as to support 

you with things like accommodation 

and living expenses while you study. 

Any loans – for fees or living costs – 

will only be paid back when you are 

working and earning over £25,000 

per year. 

You will repay just 9% of anything you 

earn above £25,000. For example, 

if you are earning £25,000 you will 

repay £30 per month. Anything left 

outstanding from your loan after 30 

years will be written off. 

Disabled Students’ Allowance 

(DSA) for UK Students 

The Disabled Students’ Allowance 

(DSA) provides extra financial help 

to UK Higher Education students to 

allow them to meet the extra costs of 

studying as a direct result of a mental 

health condition, disability or Specific 

Learning Difficulty (SpLD). It is a 

non-repayable grant based on need, 

not income. 

The DSA is usually administered 

to Higher Education students by 

whomever is supplying the funding 

for your course. So, if you’re eligible 

for a student loan or fees through 

Student Finance England you should 

apply for the DSA direct to them. The 

application process can take a few 

weeks so it’s important to start it as 

soon as possible. However, it is always 

best to talk to us first as we can help 

you with your application and any 

assessment you might need. 

You may get help with the costs of: 

—— 

Specialist equipment or computer 

software. 

—— 

A specialist support tutor. 

—— 

Extra travel costs you have to pay 

because of your disability. 

—— 

Other costs, like photocopying or 

printer cartridges.

students, your college or other overseas 

organisations, such as British Council offices. 

What happens after I apply? 

If you have applied through UCAS, you will 

receive an acknowledgement from them and, 

shortly after, we will be in touch to either offer 

you a place or arrange an interview. If you have 

applied for an Art, Design and Media course, you 

may need to bring a portfolio of recent work to 

the interview. 

If you have applied directly to us, we will 

acknowledge receipt of your application within 

five working days and pass on your details to the 

appropriate admissions tutor for your course. We 

will then arrange an interview for you with one 

of the course tutors to discuss your application 

and for you to find out more about both the 

University Centre and the course. 

Part time courses: Professional courses 

You can apply to us directly via the relevant 

course page on our website for any of these 

courses. Alternatively, you can collect an 

application form in person at one of our open 

events or by visiting the University Centre. 

All completed application forms should be 

returned to: 

University Centre Admissions, 

University Centre Croydon, 

College Road, 

Croydon CR9 1DX

PLEASE NOTE 

Due to the period between prospectus 

publication and registration, 

circumstances may change due to 

factors beyond our reasonable control 

and therefore it may sometimes be 

necessary to vary the content of the 

course or services described in the 

prospectus. We will use all reasonable 

endeavours to ensure that changes are 

kept to a minimum, but if we are required 

to make any material changes to your 

course (as described in the offer letter and/ 

or prospectus) before you register at the 

University Centre, we shall bring these to 

your attention as soon as possible and if 

you reasonably believe that the proposed 

change will prejudicially affect you, you 

may cancel the contract and withdraw 

your application for the course without any 

liability to us for course fees (even if the 

cancellation period has expired). 

We will use all reasonable endeavours 

to deliver all courses described in the 

prospectus. However, if there are not 

sufficient applicants either to make 

a course viable or to deliver a quality 

student experience, we may cancel the 

course. If you have received an offer for 

any course described in the prospectus, 

but we discontinue the course prior to you 

registering at the University Centre, we 

will notify you as soon as possible and we 

will use reasonable endeavours to provide 

a suitable replacement course for which 

you are qualified. If you are unhappy with 

the replacement course provided by us 

or if we are unable to provide a suitable 

replacement course, you may cancel the 

contract and withdraw your application 

without any liability for course fees (even if 

the cancellation period has expired). 

The latest information about our courses 

will always be available on our website
