City of Bristol College

City of Bristol College is an education provider in the heart of Bristol offering Further Education courses for 16–19-year-olds, as well as Higher Education and Adult courses. 

With a stellar legacy behind us, one of providing impactful education in an inclusive and inspirational environment, we are now propelling into the future. We’re introducing a fresh perspective whilst retaining our focus on providing the city of Bristol and wider communities with quality education. 

Courses that we offer include A Levels, technical and vocational courses, apprenticeships and pre-entry level courses all the way through to university-level courses at our Higher Education centre. 

We boast eight vibrant centres across the city, with state-of-the-art facilities, expert staff and an inspiring learning environment for our students to thrive in. 

From animal care, hair and beauty therapy through to aircraft engineering, photography and uniformed services amongst a host of other specialist courses, there really is something for everyone. 

Each centre is meticulously designed to provide the best possible environment in which to study, learn and develop. 
Following the college securing a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating in January 2023, an entire branding overhaul has since been unveiled for the college, introducing a plethora of vibrant colours and themes to reflect the true vibrancy of our student to cohort, alumni, staff and stakeholders. 

Accompanying this, we also have a 5-year strategy featuring the tagline ‘Where Next?’. A tagline that embodies the college’s continuing journey after a period of significant growth. 
We are an ambitious, diverse and inclusive college with strong values that influence how we operate. 

So many of Bristol’s learners choose to study with us for a plethora of reasons; one being that we have ranked ‘Best in Bristol and Beyond’ for the second year running by recent national achievement rate tables (NARTs) released by the Government.
