Is Holmes Institute a good fit for you?
Holmes Institute suits you if you want a bachelor or postgraduate degree in a city centre and would rather study at a smaller college than a large university.
Its degrees are accredited by the national higher education regulator, just as a university's are, but a college offers fewer courses. If you're studying accounting, check that your degree is accredited by the professional body you want to join, because that decides whether it counts towards membership.
