Voice 1

Need a career change, want to futureproof yourself in your current profession or just interested in selfdevelopment? It’s signup week at Oakgrove University until the twentyfifth of this month. Here is what some of the 800 students who started studying with us last year have to say

Voice 2

I’m a computer technician, and I needed Microsoft accreditation as I was going back to work after several years away from work looking after an elderly relative. I did my undergraduate degree and Masters with Oakgrove, so I knew their courses were topnotch. It’s a modular course, which is great as I wasn’t sure how much time I’d have available for study

Voice 3

Being a young mother meant I had little choice but to leave school early. Oakgrove’s foundation courses gave me the chance to get on a degree course without going through the traditional qualifications system. Now, I’m in my first year of a fulltime law degree. If I’d had to study for Alevels at college, it would have taken me much longer and cost me more money

Voice 4

I work full time in a very demanding job as an electronics engineer, so I thought I would never get my doctorate. We take students on internships from sandwich courses at Oakgrove, so I already knew a lot about the place. What I didn’t realise was how flexible their postgraduate courses are. I decide how much time I can dedicate, and there are no fixed deadlines for assignments or completion of the whole programme

Voice 1

We offer over 400 different courses which can be studied at our attractive purpose built campus or in distance learning format from the comfort of your own home. We can help with funding too, so there is nothing to stand in your way. Check out our website or phone for further information today
