Wirral Met College has been teaching generations of people since 1855. The origins of the college started with the Arts School, and this remains a thriving and dynamic part of our college that has since been joined by a vast spectrum of other subjects and career pathways. Our rich history and heritage are something that we are very proud of. As the largest college in Wirral, we also enjoy strong partnerships with the universities of Chester, Liverpool, and UCLan. So, if you choose to learn at Wirral Met, you will benefit from history and heritage with over 160 years of experience, dedication, and commitment to teaching, learning, and assessment.
As the largest provider of 16-18 education, adult education, training, and apprenticeships in Wirral, our success is built on our students' achievement, and every year, we support 10,000 students.
Our approach is to assist you in choosing a career and help you develop a plan to succeed. If you walk around our campuses, you will see hundreds of posters of successful students who have achieved and progressed into a wide variety of careers. We hold several national awards, including the matrix Standard for providing impartial advice and guidance, which is the foundation for helping you get on the right study program.
All of our study programs are designed to prepare you for the world of work, and in many cases, our students progress to university level study as part of their career plan. We work in partnership with many employers providing traineeships, apprenticeships, and valuable work experience, and part of your study program may be based on an employer. 16-18-year-olds study free but, whatever your age, we have bursary schemes and a range of advice, guidance, and support to help you to access all of the financial support that is available for you. We have just built a new college campus, the first building in the exciting Wirral Waters initiative and part of the largest regeneration project in one of the UK Enterprise Zones. We have been working closely with Peel, the developer of Wirral Waters, who is set to transform the area by creating thousands of jobs to make this exciting vision a reality. Our new campus is an £11 million investment that will provide opportunities for local people, equip them with the education and skills to move into employment, and help to turn the vision of Wirral Waters into a reality.
There are so many fantastic things happening in our college. Our Students' Union will help you get involved in all aspects of college life, from working with us on a strategy to organizing events, interest clubs, and generally ensuring that you have as much fun as possible.
