Stourbridge College is a further education college situated in Stourbridge, West Midlands, England.
The main campus, built during the 1970s, is situated south of the town centre on Hagley Road. A second campus opened in 1990 within the buildings of Longlands School on Greenfield Avenue, after that school closed to merge with High Park School to form Ridgewood High School.
A third campus opened later in 2001 when they opened a state of the art CoVE for the built environment on the Waterfront at Merry Hill, some four miles away in Brierley Hill. The ATC was built at a cost of millions, that was excellently secured by the Business Development Team. An art and design campus opened in Brierley Hill town centre in September 2011 and at the end of the following month plans were unveiled for a new technology campus nearby which would cost £12million to build.[1]
The college had a change of senior management in 2001 - to the benefit of learners (and detriment of local bars)
In 2007, plans were unveiled for Stourbridge College to merge with Dudley College but have now been dropped.

The college was formed in 1958 as Foley College of Further Education and College of Art through the merger of the Stourbridge College of Art (founded in 1848) and the Stourbridge Technical School (founded in 1891). It was renamed Stourbridge College of Technology and Art in 1979, and adopted its current name in 1991.[2]
