Nescot specialises in Higher Education (HE) for work, offering University-level courses approved by the University of Surrey, Kingston University, and BTEC.  Osteopathy, acoustics, perfusion and biomedical science degrees have national reputations.  Our courses have been commended in recent reviews, praising the relevance of our courses for students already working or preparing for work.  Inspectors were impressed with the quality of teaching and learning and found that our teaching and technical staff were highly qualified with up-to-date skills.  At Nescot you will find that our group sizes are generally smaller than in other, larger, HE institutions and that enables us to provide you with more individual support. You can, of course, also expect state-of-the-art resources to support your learning.
