The partnership process between Further Learning and the University of Chester commenced back in 2017. One year later, the University visited the Further Learning centre in Dublin, we embarked on the first stage of reviewing our processes, policies, financials and procedures.
The Further Learning Group recognises the importance of partnerships and how these can contribute to the growth and development of the business. Following our first review The University of Chester accepted our initial proposal outlining the way in which the degree course would be delivered, the policies and procedures and the organisational structures, qualifications and governance.
A programme specification proposal was created for each of the courses that we wished to offer, including Interior Design and Photography, and in 2019 the initial partnership approval was granted, and the relationship formally began. We gained final board approval in May 2020 with no outstanding actions or amendments required to our proposed programmes.
This was a milestone for our organisation. The partnership meant that we could expand our educational portfolio and now offer our Higher National Diploma students progression to degree level through our Top-Up honours degree which is validated by the University of Chester.
