Stay Local, Go Further
The traditional university experience of moving away from home isn’t always the right decision for everyone. There are many benefits to studying whilst living at home, studying part-time or even studying as an adult returning to education.
Take a look below at just some of the reasons why Undergraduate study at MK College makes perfect sense.

Fantastic Facilities
In addition to comfortable learning spaces and study centres, you will have unlimited access to our industry-standard facilities. The Innovation & Technology centre houses state-of-the-art engineering and welding equipment, whilst the Graduate Salon is open to the public for all of your hairdressing, beauty and barbering needs. Our award-winning commercial restaurant, The Brasserie, is officially The Best Restaurant in MK 2018 and is the winner of the College Restaurant of the Year award 2018, offering you a great place to stop by for something to eat or to grab a smooth latte. We also have a high tech media suite, photography studio, dance studio, a personal training gym as well as the coffee shops and refectories across all campuses.
Dedicated Support for All
We pride ourselves on providing an open and supportive environment for all of our students. Small class sizes mean one-on-one support will be much easier to obtain when you need it. We also have an extensive student support network offering careers advice and guidance, financial support and additional learning support.
Upgrade Your Qualification
Our qualifications include Foundation Degrees, Bachelor’s Degrees, Higher National Certificates and Higher National Diplomas. These qualifications are designed to allow you to top up to a full degree with a final year of study should you wish. We have strong partnerships with local universities, including the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Northampton to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Benefit from Affordable Study Options
Living at home while studying will save you a significant amount on accommodation costs and living expenses that come with studying away from home, meaning that 100% of the money you invest is on your education and your future. You can also still apply for funding whilst living at home, meaning you won’t miss out on anything you’re entitled to.
Be More Employable
Our qualifications are all designed in collaboration with our partners, meaning you’ll be learning what employers look for in candidates. You will gain industry-relevant skills that are in demand today, giving you a real advantage when it comes to entering your respective industry and career development.
