Regent College London

Founded by Regent Group in 2010, Regent College London is an award-winning college offering a competitive selection of industry-related higher education courses.

Students can take a range of Higher National Diplomas (HNCs), foundation degrees, bachelor's degrees, top-up degrees and master’s degree courses in various disciplines. Course options are available through the schools of Business and Enterprise, Law, Health and Sports Science, and Engineering and Computing.

The courses are delivered across six well-equipped campus locations across London, including Wembley, Kingsbury, GTS, Harrow, Southall, and Holborn. Each campus is equipped with modern facilities and is easily accessible by the city’s transport links.

Regent College London offers flexible ways of learning, with daytime, evening and weekend class options available to suit students’ needs. Students can learn around their own schedule and current commitments, or opt for a more traditional full-time programme if they prefer.

In the 2022 National Student Survey, Regent College received an outstanding 93% for overall student satisfaction. Students rated the college on its facilities, learning outcomes and opportunities, resources, and the quality of its teaching. This result places Regent College in the top 14% of UK colleges and higher education providers.

It is also externally validated by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). International students are warmly welcomed too – the college is a UKVI Tier 4 Sponsor, meaning they are able to sponsor international students who wish to study in the UK.

Employability is at the heart of Regent College’s course design, with long-term career progression a major consideration in the structure of the faculty team’s taught curriculum. Each course includes as much real-world experience as possible, as provided by the tutors’ own professional backgrounds.

The college’s portfolio of courses are validated by well-established higher education providers such as the University of Bolton, St Mary’s University and Buckinghamshire New University.

There are a wide range of courses available at various levels of study, including foundation years, Higher National Diplomas (HNDs), foundation degrees, bachelor’s degrees and top-up degrees, as well as master’s degrees for students who complete their studies and wish to continue to a higher level.

Subjects available to study at Regent College are split into four main learning areas – business and enterprise, engineering and computing, health and sports science, and law. Some courses can be studied with a hybrid model, including some in-person tutoring and some remote work.

Entry requirements at Regent College London vary on a course-by-course basis, and prospective students are encouraged to refer to the college website for detailed information about specific course requirements and application deadlines.

The college admissions team considers each application on an individual basis, and there are many alternative routes to entry. All students with the aspiration to study at Regent College London are encouraged to get in touch and enquire about their eligibility for course entry – the requirements listed on the website are typical, but are not to be considered exclusive.

This encourages a diverse student body from a wide range of backgrounds, including students progressing straight from high school to those returning to education after time in the workplace, as well as others who just wish to retrain for a new career.

Some courses may have specific subject requirements depending on the programme, but there are foundation options that may be available for students with a path in mind but who are lacking the necessary qualifications upfront.

Regent College London has undergone a number of external evaluations and consistently exceeds quality requirements for the education it provides:

Quality Assurance Agency (QAA)

Regent College underwent a review by the QAA (which safeguards quality in UK higher education) in September 2016 and received a commendable outcome from its 2017 monitoring visit. An annual return visit in September 2018 confirmed that the college continues to maintain academic standards and enhance the quality of, and information about, student learning opportunities.

Since then, the college has continued to build on its strengths – namely, ensuring that students across all subjects are given a quality education that utilises the latest industry learnings and research, from tutors who have extensive experience as professionals within their field. The college is known for providing an excellent balance of academic and hands-on learning alongside industry-specific advice and guidance.

And another key strength of the college is its locations, and the networks within the London area that the college can cultivate for the benefit of its students.

Students' Union

The college does not have a traditional students’ union; however, there is a student representative system in place and enrolment at Regent College London grants each student full membership to the National Union of Students, along with all the benefits of a National Union of Students (NUS) TOTUM card.

Full support is also provided at the student support centre, which is open Monday to Saturday and offers a number of useful services.

Clubs and Societies

Since Regent College London does not have its own students’ union, they do not have their own network of clubs and societies. However, the central London location means that students are exposed to a variety of activities and opportunities found nowhere else in the world.

City life

No matter which campus a student chooses to study at, they will be living in the heart of the UK’s vibrant capital city.

London is known for its variety of shopping opportunities, and students are spoilt for choice. There is also a world-famous selection of pubs, bars and clubs for students to explore, as well as plenty of opportunities to try foods from cultures around the world at the huge number of restaurants, food stalls and markets across the city.

All tutors at Regent College London have strong industry experience and are able to give valuable insights into the professional world beyond education. Students aren’t just learning the academic material – they’re gaining insight into the best ways to get into, and to succeed in, their chosen career, from those who have been there and done it already.

The courses are created to help enhance students' careers and are designed to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in their future. Courses are informed by up-to-date industry data and real-life case studies, making students highly skilled and employable upon graduation, ready to step straight into the role with confidence.

Students also benefit from support services such as a dedicated careers officer, tailored job search assistance and help with CV writing and preparing for interviews. These services ensure that students can comfortably apply for roles and know what is expected of them.

Scholarships/ Bursaries

Regent College London understands that the cost of living in London while studying a degree course can be significant, and is dedicated to ensuring that all students have the financial security necessary to complete their studies with full comfort and confidence.

The college implements several schemes through its access and participation plan, which provides students with financial support in addition to that which they receive from Student Finance England.

Regent College also awards a range of bursary and grant opportunities to students each year on a means-tested basis. These include a disability bursary, a care leaver bursary, and an emergency loan scheme.

Fees

Tuition fees vary on a course-by-course basis and detailed information for both domestic and international student fees can be found on the college website.

All Regent College courses are funded by the Student Loans Company, and incoming students are encouraged to familiarise themselves with any dates and deadlines for course payments throughout the academic year. The financial services team is on hand all year to help students with payments and budgeting and can assist with applying for external funding opportunities. Course fees may increase in line with inflation.
