Quick guide to what you can study
One of the great things about studying at HCC is that you can combine academic with vocational study. Check out the options! Young people are most successful on full-time programmes. As a full-time learner, you’ll be taught for a minimum of 12½ hours per week – with most courses being 15½ hours per week. Below is just a sample of the course combinations you could choose.
