Warwickshire College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warwickshire College is a large further and higher education college in the county of Warwickshire in the United Kingdom. It has some 30,000 students enrolled on courses across five campuses. It was formed in 1996, when the Mid-Warwickshire College in Leamington and the Warwickshire Institute of Agriculture in Moreton Morrell merged. In a further expansion the college then merged with Rugby College in 2003. Most recently it has opened a new campus at the Trident Centre in Whitnash and it has acquired a fifth site at Henley-in-Arden.

Both the main campus and the Rugby site offer a wide range of courses. The Trident Centre was opened in 2004, and it specialises in the subjects of business, finance and car engineering. The Moreton Morrell campus specialises in agriculture-based subjects, and the newest campus at Henley, focuses on sports-related studies.
