Here at HOP we believe that opportunities to study in higher and further education should be accessible at all stages of life. Age should not be a barrier.
We support different routes into and through further and higher education, and an environment which helps adult learners and encourages you to pursue lifelong learning.
Adult learning can broaden horizons, build your networks and open doors. Whether you are looking for a new direction, to brush up on your skills, improve your job opportunities, seek some advice and guidance on a qualification, or a new pathway to a career, HOP are here to help.
