Some of the most meaningful conversations don't happen in the classroomโthey happen during coffee breaks, over a friendly game of table tennis, or while sharing ideas with classmates and colleagues. These moments remind us that learning is not only about gaining knowledge but also about building relationships, supporting one another, and creating memories that last long after graduation.

VCAD Manchester Campus has been officially opened by Councillor Eamonn OโBrien, Greater Manchester Combined Authorityโs Lead for Technical Education.
Cllr OโBrien was joined by Arlene Foster, Baroness Foster of Alghadrumsee, and senior executives from VCAD and the PEN Group, to celebrate the launch of VCAD Manchester.
Manchester is a city recognised globally for its creative industries, business innovation and talent and so it was an obvious and ideal location for VCADโs new campus.
At VCAD, our mission is to prepare the next generation with industry knowledge, real-world insight, and the confidence to push boundaries and create new opportunities for both themselves and others.
It was an honour to welcome Cllr Eamonn OโBrien and we are truly grateful to him for taking the time to share in this exciting day for the VCAD team and our students.
