Bridgend College of Technology

Bridgend College was established in 1928 as the Bridgend Mining and Technical Institute and today offers further education courses, NVQs, BTECs and higher education courses. The college is training over 12,000 students each year who can choose from part-time or full-time courses in various vocational areas.

Bridgend College works closely with organisations such as the Bridgend County Borough for Adult Community Learning and other local businesses.

Bridgend College is a great destination for students from Bridgend County Borough, Rhondda Cynon Taff and the Vale of Glamorgan and it's attracting students from as far afield as Cardiff and Swansea. That's why they have developed great facilities at each of their campuses.

Bridgend Campus is the largest of the college campuses. It has optimum facilities for students who study courses like electrical engineering, furniture design and professional catering. Pencoed Campus benefits from open space and greenery and is the campus where students study sports, public services and land-based studies.

You can find the Higher Education centre at Queens Road Campus on Bridgend Industrial estate, next to The Centre for New Media Enterprise. The College also has a campus in Maesteg that has extensive classroom facilities and an IT centre. Other notable facilities are Studio 34 and the Morien House.
