Hundreds of students have flocked through the doors of City of Wolverhampton College’s new campus since it opened in November 2025.
The state-of-the-art four-storey building – at the £61 million City Learning Quarter, in Wolverhampton city centre – replaces the 63-year-old Paget Road campus, in Compton.
The new campus offers full-time and part-time qualifications in art and design, business and management, catering and hospitality, computing and digital, creative media, games design and e-sports, hair and beauty, health and social care, music technology, performing arts, photography and science, along with A-levels in a range of subjects.
The site boasts modern teaching and learning spaces, industry-standard training facilities including science labs, digital areas, hair and beauty salons, and a mock-up hospital ward, as well as professional broadcast, music, photography and performing arts studios.
The campus is easily accessible by cycle networks and public transport, with the Midlands Metro St George’s stop outside and Wolverhampton bus and railway stations a 10-minute walk away.
Just four miles from the city centre, the college’s Wellington Road campus, in Bilston, offers qualifications in automotive, bakery, childcare and early years, construction, engineering, sport, travel and tourism and uniformed public services.
Facilities include a new £8.1 million Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre for engineering and automotive studies, construction centre with workshops for individual trades, early years training nursery, modern sports centre and professional bakery kitchen.
The campus is well-served by local buses and is a 10-minute walk from the Midlands Metro stop at Priestfield.
Courses are available for people of all ages, levels and abilities – find out more at the college’s next open evening on Wednesday, 21 January, 4pm-7pm.
