For well over a decade, Accrington and Rossendale College has offered higher education courses, validated by some of the North West’s most prestigious universities meaning that you can gain a degree from a top class university without leaving your home town; ideal for those with other commitments, work or family.

Our courses range from A-level and Access to HE, through to foundation and honours degrees. The College’s programmes are strongly vocationally-orientated and are designed to help our students make the best progression into their working lives.

All of our programmes are designed for life, giving you the flexibility to study and still make time for your family and other commitments. They allow you to study locally and avoid running up huge debts through accommodation and living costs.

All of our courses are regularly reviewed to make sure they are delivered to the highest standard and our reputation has grown to the point where many local people choose to study with us, rather than go away to university. Our tutors are widely experienced, have taught at this level for many years and are regularly singled out for praise in academic reviews.
