There has never been a better time to be part of Solihull College & University Centre after a fantastic start to the academic year. We have recently been granted government approval to use the "University Centre" brand due to our higher education offer's high numbers and breadth. Last year, we achieved top marks in a QAA review of our higher education provision. We were also subject to a Government Area Review, which concluded that the College was financially strong and resilient for the future, with our funding body confirming our excellent financial health. Our achievements were added to just before Christmas when we were graded 'Good' across all of the College by Ofsted. We have since achieved Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Gold for our higher education provision – the only College in the West Midlands to beat many top Russell Group universities. We continue to be at the forefront of innovation with investment in outstanding facilities for our students, with industry-standard science laboratories and virtual reality equipment recently introduced at Blossomfield Campus and the Centre for Advanced Aeronautical Provision world-class flight simulators and a former Royal Navy Aircraft at Woodlands Campus. School leavers, apprentices, university level, and adult learners can thrive in facilities unmatched in the region. We have invested in all of our subject areas, and we also have the HQ of Solihull Chamber of Commerce based at the College. This has been an enormous benefit where the Chamber broker many of our employer links from work experience and expert inputs to employment and apprenticeships for many of our students who have completed their studies. We aim to find a place for everyone, with courses offered from beginner right up to degree-level right here in Solihull. With strong links to top employers across various industries, we ensure our courses are tailored to continuously evolving industry needs. Our staff possess the expertise and drive to ensure students leave the College with the skills necessary to make their mark in their chosen industry or progress to the next level in their education – whether with us at our University Centre or top universities across the country. Solihull College & University Centre will contribute to the local and regional economies and beyond by providing high-quality vocational education and training for individuals, employers, and the wider community. Solihull College & University Centre recognizes the importance of the active promotion of fundamental British values in all we do. The values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs complement the College's values. View full university
