Information for school leavers

If you’re currently studying for GCSEs or about to leave school, check out our wide range of specialist courses – you don’t want to miss out on learning in surroundings like these! Equine yard, lakes, a working farm, masses of woodland, a shoot? Check! If you would like to spend more time applying what you study in the classroom to practical work in the actual environment, then find the course that’s right for you now!

Coming to College can be a big step - and there's loads to find out about. The main things first though:

Fees

The majority of our full and part-time courses are free if you are aged between 16 and 18 years old. Take a look at our fees and financial support section for more info.

Travel

We know it can be tricky to get to Shuttleworth – but we don’t want anything to get in the way of your success while studying at College so transport is available from pick-up points around Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas. Have a read of our travel section to find out more.

Accommodation

Our on-campus accommodation offers you a stepping stone to living independently – you will not only have the opportunity to study in the stunning surroundings, but to live here and enjoy all the social opportunities that are open to residential students too! Sound good? Get further details!
