Although the college is one of the newest colleges in the UK, it has a long history dating back to 1824, as well as an established reputation for high quality courses across a wide range of subjects.

The current college turnover makes Leeds City College one of the largest and most influential colleges in the country, with over 55,000 students, and approximately 2,000 employees.

Leeds City College has five main campuses across the city and beyond, known as Horsforth Campus, Keighley Campus, Park Lane Campus, Technology Campus and Thomas Danby Campus. They also operate out of close to 30 other venues.

Each of our campuses boasts excellent on-site teaching facilities - from training salons and construction workshops to dance studios, print rooms, kitchens and life-size aircraft cabins – to provide students with a real taste of industry.

Leeds City College offers a diverse curriculum, covering almost all subject areas, with academic and vocational qualifications from basic skills and apprenticeships to foundation degrees. Courses are designed to suit the needs of everyone from pre and post 16s to adult learners and employers.

The College now holds National Skills Academy status for a number of other key specialisms including Financial Services, Hospitality, Drink & Food Manufacture, Sport & Fitness, Retail, and Sports Community Enterprise.
