Cornwall College

Vocational school in St Austell, The United Kingdom

Cornwall College is a further and higher education college in Cornwall, in the south-west of England, with campuses in Camborne, Newquay and St Austell. As part of The Cornwall College Group it works with specialist land-based and marine partner colleges (Duchy College, Bicton College and Falmouth Marine School), and it also has an Engineering Skills Centre in Plymouth, a Professional Skills Centre at St Mellion and a training partnership with the Eden Project. The college describes itself as an "Outstanding" provider of further education and states that it has over 15,000 learners each year, about 2,000 of them on university programmes.

  • Courses for 16 to 18-year-olds, including T Levels and A Levels at St Austell
  • Apprenticeships
  • Courses for adults
  • University programmes: BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), FdA, FdSc and HNC/HND
  • Postgraduate MSc/MA, PGCE and Cert Ed
