Study at Wakefield College
At Wakefield College you’ll benefit from our supportive environment. We’re not under pressure to recruit lots of students, so you won’t be lost in a large group. Neither are we under pressure to decrease the amount of tuition you receive. You will have regular contact with your tutors and with smaller group sizes we can really get to know you better and respond to your needs.

Our higher education courses are located in specialist facilities in our City Centre Campuses and in our recently opened skillsXchange Campus in Glasshoughton which provides an outstanding learning environment.

Studying at the College is a great way to gain a recognised higher education qualification in your chosen occupation that will prepare you for employment, or for the next stage of your career. It also gives you an excellent academic and practical basis for further study.

All our higher educational courses are vocational and the College has strong links with local, regional and national employers. We work very closely with the relevant industries to ensure that our courses are up-to-date and that you have the skills necessary for the world of work. By working closely with employers we can also give you the opportunity to go on work placements, work with local business organisations, and gain essential experience of the workplace as part of your studies.

As a student you may also experience economic benefits from studying at the College. Our full and part-time fees are lower than most universities. Furthermore, students local to Wakefield can make a real saving by not having to relocate or travel long distances for their study.
