Gloucestershire College is a modern, career-focused college of further and higher education, with three main campuses based in Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Forest of Dean. We offer a huge range of successful academic and vocational courses, including NVQs, Diplomas, HNCs, HNDs and Foundation Degrees, alongside part-time day and evening courses, and English for overseas students. Our contemporary campuses ensure our students have access to the finest facilities and equipment around, including iMacs, libraries, television and recording studios, restaurants, gyms, salons and much more. We equip our students with the skills to be successful beyond college, placing emphasis on their future employability, whether it be through organising entrepreneurial experiences or work-related activities. Many of our lecturers have industry experience in their subject, meaning they know exactly what they’re talking about and what employers are looking for. As well as being the leading provider of apprenticeships in Gloucestershire, we work closely with local businesses to provide bespoke and professional training programmes too. Whatever you choose to study at Gloucestershire College, you’re guaranteed high quality teaching and support, as well as a great experience.

What a day it was. 🎓

As we count down to this year's Higher Awards Ceremony this November, we're taking a moment to look back and relive the magic of last year's celebration at the stunning Gloucester Cathedral.

It was a night of pride, reflection, recognition and celebrating the incredible achievements of our Higher Education students, surrounded by their families, friends, and lecturers who supported them every step of the way.

Take a look back at the memories below, and get ready - because this November, we do it all again. ✨
