Welcome from the Principal
I’m pleased that you are considering The City of Liverpool College for your next step into education and a successful career. Our higher education programmes are first class with a gold standard in teaching and designed in partnership with employers and universities to get you where you want to go.
Becoming a City of Liverpool College student gives you access to specialist facilities and award winning tutors who bring with them a wealth of knowledge and industry experience, as well as helping you to reach employers who are leaders in their fields. The quality of our teaching is recognised nationally: in 2017, The City of Liverpool College was awarded a ‘Gold’ standard under the Teaching Excellence Framework, awarded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for its quality and standards of education.
Many of our graduates choose to stay with The City of Liverpool College to continue studying at honours degree level, with a range of qualifications on offer from higher national certificates and diplomas, foundation degrees and clearly mapped out progression opportunities for those wanting to ‘top up’ to honours degree level.
But it isn’t all about work: our students have access to a thriving Student Union and extra- curricular opportunities, with our student engagement team providing support not only for college wide social events but also support for students who want to develop their own business ideas and ambitions. Learning can also be tailored to your needs, with flexible study on offer that works around your employment and home commitments.
We offer a high quality academic experience and unique opportunities for progression as a result of our strong links with industry and partnerships with other higher education institutions.
Those students who graduate and go on to study elsewhere find that the qualifications earned with us stand them in good stead as preparation for that next step.
I hope you’ll take the next step to a successful career with The City of Liverpool College as one of our students. In doing so, you’ll become a valued member of the student community – respected, challenged, and supported to succeed.
