About this course

This Cert HE course is designed to cater for students who have 48 - 63 UCAS points or have Level 3 qualifications in a non-scientific subject set. On successful completion of the Cert HE, the student will progress directly into the second year of the FdSc programme. The Green revolution has begun, now more than ever we are realising the danger our planet is in. This course will set you on a journey towards aiding its recovery.

You will be based in a fantastic rural campus in the heart of Newquay, with a small, family feel, within a short drive of sandy beaches, dynamic dunes, wild moorland and ancient woodland. The staff are research active and bring that expertise to the class.

Finally, we have strong links with local conservation organisations to develop your work-related experience, which is a very strong thread through the programme.

Cornwall College University Centre offers a unique and fulfilling university experience with small class sizes, allowing for personal attention from tutors and a strong sense of community among students. The wrap-around support provided ensures that students receive the necessary guidance and resources to excel in their studies, while studying alongside likeminded individuals who share their passion for vocational technical skills. Located in one of the most beautiful and natural parts of the country, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings while developing practical skills that set them apart in the job market.
