At South West College we know that education is a lifelong pursuit and that no two educational journeys are the same. As such, we are proud that all our courses and opportunities are available and suitable to adult learners of any age and can be made to suit your lifestyle and work-life commitments.
At South West College we offer students leaving school after completing GCSEs or A Levels a wide range of industry focused courses where students can immerse themselves in studies related to their chosen career pathway.
If you've completed A Levels or equivalent, you may be interested in a Higher Level Apprenticeship, which offers the opportunity to gain quality training and a recognised higher qualification while in paid employment.
South West College offers a wide range of Degrees and Foundation Degrees for you to study locally without the burden of costs associated with studying for your degree away from home. We also have a number of Scholarships available for application throughout the year.
New 2026/27 Part-Time courses starting this September are now open for application
