A message from our Chair
We are referred to as the MEG colleges by Government departments, funding bodies and other membership groups and comprise 43 of the largest CBHE providers in England and Wales. We trace our origins to a core group who began to discuss HE in FE in the mid 1990s. Higher Education offered in Colleges of Further Education is an established , growing and responsive part of the wider higher education landscape offering value for money HE courses which are available locally and responsive to the needs of employers.
