Welcome to the Shuttleworth College website, which has everything you will need to be able to make an informed choice about your training and education.

Whether you are leaving school, interested in degree-level courses, want to study part-time to improve your job prospects, or would just like to take up a new activity, we want you to understand what it is that makes Shuttleworth College such a great place to study. Read about the activities our students are involved in, discover our fantastic facilities and find out about all of the different courses we offer.

Set within the stunning location of Old Warden Park, the College offers a wide variety of full-time and part-time courses, making full use of the natural resources available, which include parkland, farm land, lakes and woodland. What a great place to study! If you live at a distance you can benefit from our travel scheme, or you might like to consider staying in our Halls of Residence – often our students are so happy living on site that they don’t want to leave!

We can also offer you advice if you are an employer who is responsible for staff training and you can contact our Business Development team directly for tailored programmes and support.

Take a moment to read more about the Shuttleworth Trust, which plays a huge part in the tradition and values of our College.

Shuttleworth students leave the College able to take up exciting, challenging jobs with endless career opportunities. Don’t miss your opportunity to be one of them!

If you would like to ask us a question, we would love to hear from you.
