About us

Accredited Colleges is an online information resource centre for the education industry and employers. We provide information about the colleges and universities that are accredited by government recognised accreditation bodies in the United Kingdom.

The UK accreditation system is not as clear cut as for instance, those in countries like the United States or Canada. Therefore, it can be confusing and difficult to understand which colleges or universities have recognised accreditation.

The information on this website will help stakeholders in education (e.g. prospective students, government departments, employers and other educational institutions) in making an informed decision relating to accreditation, immigration visa applications, student enrolment, employment, etc. The information will also be useful to those who just want to have a better understanding of the UK educational accreditation system.

Our intention is to work closely with accreditation bodies, so that the information contained on this site is as accurate as possible. Therefore, we frequently update the information on the site.
