We work with UK universities to deliver your degree. Here is what that partnership means for you, in plain English.

What “delivered under franchise” means
Your degree is awarded by one of our partner universities, but you study and are taught at William College. Responsibilities are shared like this:
- 01
Who sets the academic regulations?
The partner university’s academic regulations apply to your course – including assessment, progression and award rules.
Partner university - 02
Who awards your degree?
Your degree certificate is awarded by the partner university, so it carries the same standing as one earned on its own campus.
Partner university - 03
Who runs teaching day-to-day?
William College delivers your teaching, timetabling, student support and facilities at our Stratford and Leeds campuses.
