About us

We are passionate about inspiring, enriching and transforming the lives of our students. 

We partner with respected bodies such as Liverpool John Moores University, The Open University, Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University as well as Pearson, to deliver a range of Degree and Foundation Degree courses as well as Higher National Diplomas and Higher National Certificates.  

At SERC, though, these are delivered through practical learning in small groups and we offer much more than a qualification.  

We understand that, just like your future employer, you value experience and personal skills which prepare you to join the workforce and unlock the future career you want.  Project-based learning, that engages students in practical problem-solving and develops a range of skills such as collaboration and time-management, is at the core of our teaching.
