With modern facilities and outstanding results, City College Brighton and Hove has been delivering quality courses for over a hundred years.

The main college campus is located in the centre of the ‘city by the sea’ - Brighton and Hove. The city is a major educational centre with a large international student population who enjoy its relaxed, cosmopolitan air, buzzing nightlife and thriving culture.

It offers a wide selection of vocational courses, academic and vocational A-levels, BTEC National and First Diplomas and NVQs. The College offers progression to its own Higher Education courses in conjunction with the University of Brighton.

Each year over 2,000 full-time learners, 13,000 part-time learners as well as many international and European students choose City College as their education provider.

Learners from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds mix happily and International students are a valued part of our College community, adding to the ‘melting pot’ atmosphere. During a recent British Council Inspection, the inspectors noted that the College was extremely welcoming and that students and visitors consistently met with friendly attitudes and support. Maintaining these standards is fundamental to the ethos of City College.

City College has achieved ‘Action for Business Colleges’ (AfBC) accreditation. This is a Learning and Skills Council Kite mark which assesses the College’s responsiveness to the needs of the local business community.

This year, for the 11th time since 1996, the Carpentry department has won a City & Guilds Medal for Excellence. The College has also recently been awarded Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) status in Digital Design, Instrumentation, Automation and Control Engineering, Heritage Engineering, Business, Management and Finance, Hospitality and Tourism.

With the addition of the new Wilson Avenue site, the College has state-of-the-art facilities for its Visual and Performing Arts Department and the exciting new ‘Constructing Futures’ project which is tackling the skills shortage in the local construction industry.
