Our HE Partners

A major benefit of taking your HE qualification at Brooklands College is that you can study close to, or in your local communities and our campus facilities will provide you with everything you will require during your studies.

However, as Brooklands works in partnerships with universities it means that our students are also able to enjoy the facilities of their partnered University as well.
