Macclesfield College aims to put the learner at the heart of everything it does, making it your first choice for all your learning and skills needs.

Macclesfield College recognises that the process of learning never ends and has a range of courses and subjects to reflect that.

Whether you are a school leaver looking for a different kind of learning experience, or an adult learner wanting to take on a new skill, the breadth of courses on offer at the state-of-the-art campus will guarantee something to spark your interest.

The college offers full-time and part-time courses including A-levels, BTECs, NVQs and apprenticeships across its campus, which encompasses the impressive Macclesfield College building and sixth form facility.

As one of the top providers of engineering courses in the north west, the campus is completed by the ECAT building, housing a Jetstream plane as its centrepiece; the vocational courses provided by the engineering department give hands-on, practical experience in your chosen subject.

The college’s cost-effective, degree-level qualifications can also provide an excellent opportunity for higher education without the expense of university, whether you are moving up from A-levels or are a mature student, there is an impressive array of foundation degrees to suit you. By staying local with Macclesfield College, at the University Centre Macclesfield, you will benefit from lower fees, smaller study groups and lecturers who can share a wealth of industry experience across your chosen subject area.

Adults who are looking to develop employment skills, change career or simply take up a new hobby, can choose from hundreds of day and evening classes, running both at the college and at venues throughout the community. The college has everything from accounting to yoga, and with the sheer choice available, there will almost certainly be a course to suit you.

Macclesfield College can also help provide a focus and change of direction if you have started a course elsewhere and had a rethink; similarly, its access to higher education courses can help you make a step up to degree study if it has been a while since you were last in the classroom, or if you don’t have traditional qualifications. Whatever your goals and ambitions, the college can give you a stepping stone to reaching them.

The college’s support service is committed to offering the guidance and assistance needed to help reach personal and academic goals. Personal tutors share your enthusiasm and ambition and support you in every way they can.
