Students

Yeovil College has an exciting and friendly campus, where you will meet new friends and learn the skills you need for a great job, great future and a great start. Learning is our passion and we are extremely proud of our students and their achievements. We have had yet another successful year in 2006/07, with results above the national average for the third consecutive year.   Improved grades have led to more students than ever, successfully securing places at renowned universities around the country.

Our aim, is to provide learning opportunities to the whole community, with courses offered from entry level, through to AS/A level, vocational courses and on to Foundation degrees and Honours Degrees at the University Centre Yeovil, on Preston road.

Our reputation for high quality resources and teaching is also growing; at our last inspection we were particularly highlighted for clear leadership, good achievement, high levels of support for students and good standards of courses, particularly in English, Communications and History which were described as ‘outstanding.’

Over the past few years, we have invested heavily in our resources, providing high quality teaching rooms, with interactive white boards, up to date IT equipment, and a superb study centre, complete with a virtual library and over 1500 e-books and thousands of e-journals.  Students will enjoy superb new learning facilities in our brand new Leonardo building, a £5.7 million pound investment to provide superb Arts, Engineering and Media facilities.

With one of the widest range of vocational programmes in the county, we can also give you the opportunity to use specialist workshops and technical equipment to learn vital skills that employers demand.  Our Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) in Advanced Engineering and Hospitality offer state of the art specialist equipment to help you to learn high level, industry- related skills.

We also have a personal tutorial system to ensure that you receive all the support and motivation you need throughout your studies with us.  We also encourage you to tell us about any additional needs, learning difficulties or disabilities so we can identify positive ways to support you.

With high standards of teaching, student support, superb links with industry and the local community, we have everything that will enable you to progress to the next stage.
