The Benefits of Studying with ICS
With ICS you can learn in your own time, at your own pace and from the comfort of your own home. So whatever your circumstances, you can succeed. You can enrol at any time on an ICS Degree as there are no set term times, and spaces available on every course.
What our degrees can do for you
Recent studies have identified the key attributes sought by employers when recruiting graduates. These include many interpersonal and self-management skills, often ranking above academic merit. Choosing to study a degree by distance learning demonstrates to employers that you not only have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding, but also that you can manage time effectively, are self-motivated and already have a good work ethic – qualities that will make you stand out from the crowd.
Our undergraduate degree programmes are validated by the University of East London (UEL).
We also offer a BSc Nursing top-up degree programme through Napier University.
Helping you every step of the way
Our team of dedicated mentors will help you with general needs and answer any administrative queries you have. Simply pick up the phone or send them an e-mail, and you’ll receive a fast response. Your mentor will also contact you at regular intervals – firstly to welcome you and agree a study plan, and then to discuss your progress and remind you about deadlines.
Pocket the difference
Research shows that choosing to study a university degree by distance learning could leave you more than £35,000* better off compared to studying the equivalent degree at a campus-based university. One of the clearest benefits of studying your degree at home with ICS is that you can avoid such huge payments – and stay clear of the average graduate debt of £13,501**.
