Progress on to Level 4-7 courses
If you’ve completed your studies with Manchester Adult Education and are looking to progress on to higher education, we can point you in the right direction and help you find a suitable course so you’re able to achieve your learning goals.
We work with providers across Manchester who offer a range of level 4 – 7 courses in finance, management and healthcare and can help take your education to the next level. Many of these providers also provide courses with an additional Foundation Year, which is ideal for those that have been out of education for a long time.
Benefits of studying a higher education course:
Increased job opportunities: Graduates of higher education courses often have access to a wider range of career opportunities compared to those with lower qualifications. Many employers require job candidates to have a degree or equivalent qualifications for certain roles – especially roles in leadership or management.
Higher earning potential: On average, those with higher education qualifications tend to earn more over their lifetime compared to those with lower qualifications. If you choose to study a level 4 – 7 course, you may be able to command a higher salary.
Enhanced personal development and skills: Studying a higher education course typically requires you to engage in in-depth study and research in a specific area. This can help you to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical skills and can also help you to become more confident, independent, and better equipped to handle challenges in the workplace.
