The University of Brighton and North East Surrey College of Technology (Nescot) have announced a major new partnership that will create more opportunities for people of all ages to learn, train and progress into high-quality careers across the region.
The five-year agreement will see the two institutions work together to strengthen local skills, support employers and make it easier for students to move from college into university study.
Students at Epsom-based Nescot studying T Levels, apprenticeships and vocational qualifications will benefit from new and improved pathways into higher education courses at the University of Brighton.
