College life is relaxed and friendly and we welcome students of all ages and abilities. Whilst a student at college, you'll have access to a number of support services to help you get the most from your time here.

There's plenty of room outside the classroom to catch up with new classmates, debate and share experiences with like-minded people.

A number of different learning resources are available to students including PC and printing facilities, Learning Resource Centres with print and online resources, and designated study spaces.

College life means more than just study! Adult learners can access the college's theatre, hair and beauty salon and spa or fine dining restaurant, and enjoy socialising with new-found friends.
