At UcWA, everybody counts, and success is obtainable.
The compact nature of the college’s campus ensures that our students receive unprecedented support from tutors and have the opportunity to form firm friendships with other learners, something which is not always easy in a larger university.
In addition, major differences between the way colleges (including provisions in partnerships with colleges, such as UcWA) and universities deliver HE courses mean that college students are graduating with an average of around £17,500 less debt than their university counterparts, according to research by the Association of Colleges.

King’s Lynn
If you like the idea of living and studying in a bustling and friendly market town steeped in history but with all the conveniences of modern life, King’s Lynn could be perfect for you. It was one of England’s most important ports from as early as the 12th century, and its maritime past is still very much in evidence today.
The campus is right in the heart of the historic town. When you’re taking a break from your studies, wander down little cobbled lanes, peek at old merchants’ houses and gaze at the water in the quaint harbour. Then, turn a corner and find yourself suddenly back in the 21st century and the central hub of the town, which features the Vancouver Quarter Shopping Centre. There’s a traffic-free area too, for strolling and browsing the many little independent shops, bars and cafes.
The town hosts two festivals each summer. The King’s Lynn Festival is primarily a classical music festival, while Festival Too is one of Europe’s largest music festivals -and it’s free. In fact, you’ll always find something going on somewhere in town.
