Warwickshire College is one of the largest further and higher education centres in the United Kingdom, with six campuses in Leamington, Warwick, Rugby, Moreton Morell, Henley-in-Arden and Pershore.
Background and History
The college in its current state began in 1996 when Mid-Warwickshire College in Leamington and Moreton Morrell Centre merged. In 2003 the centre incorporated Rugby College and shortly after built the Trident Centre specialising in engineering and motorsport. The college further merged with Arden-in-Henley, delivering specialist courses in sport, textiles and beauty, before finally adding Pershore college in Worcestershire, which thus took its range across two counties.
Location and Accessibility
Warwickshire College is spread across the counties of Warwickshire and neighbouring Worcestershire, and as such is located in six different locations. Their website provides a handy map with the marked locations of all their campuses.
What's on Offer?
Being such a large further and higher education provider, Warwickshire College has a huge choice of subjects for pupils aged 16+. There are 1,500 available courses covering 20 subjects. Each campus is tailored for specific educational needs and can be explored on their website. The college recently renovated their Rugby campus, spending £33 million and purchasing over 1,200 PCs equipped with the latest Windows 7 software.
