Welcome Abingdon & Witney College is a place that is about more than just your course. It’s about making you as career-ready as possible when you leave us, with everything you need to go far in the workplace, university, and in life. Some students are unsure of what course they want to do when they apply to us, whilst others know exactly what they want to study. There are different paths to success – our aim is to provide you with a positive college experience as you gain the skills employers want to see, and to give you the responsibility and freedom to take your own direction. We help to do this in many ways. Our cutting-edge buildings, workshops and classrooms are designed to mirror what you will find in the industry; links with Oxfordshire employers provide work experience for students and job opportunities for apprentices; and our staff are dedicated to the development of our students, helping them to realise potential and overcome challenges. With award-winning teaching, facilities and support services, and a real community spirit throughout the College, there’s never been a better time to come and be involved. Take your time to browse through this guide and familiarise yourself with the courses and services we offer.
