Our £10 million University Centre in Blackpool offers first-class facilities and further strengthens our ability to attract students not only from the local vicinity, but also internationally. We work closely with schools on the Fylde coast, providing programmes for over 600 14-16 year-olds who come into the College and study with us every week. Then there are the 3000 full-time 16-19 year-olds who study further education courses in a tremendously wide range of areas ranging from Aviation Engineering to Health Care and Early Years. Several thousand adult students study with the college, many of them supported by their employers on courses delivered in the workplace.
