Education New courses target employability
Students hit hard by rising university tuition fees have been boosted with the launch of several super-value higher education courses at MidKent College.
The courses, which cover a wide range of subject areas and start in September, cost £5,700 a year (compared to the £9,000 maximum at some universities) and include a £1,000 bursary for full-time students in the first year.
Demand is expected to be high so prospective students are urged to apply now.

· HND in Performing Arts (musical theatre and production pathways)

Stephen Batchelor, director of HE development, said: "Our new suite of HE qualifications have been specifically designed to increase the employability of our learners. "As the UK enters a double-dip recession, providing
employability skills for our learners remains a key focus for the college.

series of qualifications that will provide young people with the skills and abilities they need to be successful in building a career and gaining an edge in the ever-more crowded job market, making higher education a worthwhile long-term investment." Other areas in which
