In recognition of the way we work so effectively withour students, we have received a number of awards and top grades in recent government inspections and assessments. This means you can rest assured that you will be studying at a college that delivers high quality and innovative teaching.
But don’t just take our word for it – take a look at our excellent exam results and see for yourself. While many of our students progress into higher education at the country’s biggest and most famous universities, many choose to complete their university level studies with us because of the high levels of support we provide.
If you would prefer to take a more vocational route of study, you will have access to some of the best college facilities in the country. We have custom-built automotive workshops, industry standard training restaurants and hair and beauty salons, live performance venues, and a football centre of excellence to list just a few. We believe in giving you a learning experience that is as close to real life as possible so that you are properly prepared for the world of work.
These pages are designed to give you an idea of what the college is all about and to guide you through the decision making processes involved in applying for a further education course.
