Student destinations

Successfully completing your higher education course is a huge achievement, and each year at Bedford Corn Exchange we invite students who have shown outstanding achievement to our annual Graduation Ceremony.

Where our students are now...

After studying a Higher Education course at the College, the majority of our students ended up going onto full-time study or work. Our courses are the perfect way to gain the qualification that you need to pursue your dream career, without all of the university fees.
