About University of Suffolk
A Certificate of Higher Education is the University of Suffolk route that AF Education lists in London and Manchester. Business and health and social care are the subjects, so you can take a shorter higher-education step that still counts towards a funded degree if you later continue. Two campuses in those cities suit students who want a first qualification without committing to a full bachelor's at the outset.
Student Finance England is the usual support for eligible home students. Half of the listed courses include a built-in foundation year, which lets you start without A-levels and then progress through the CertHE. AF Education gives free help with applications, from choosing a city to completing your forms.
