Colchester Institute｜School of Art

Welcome to Colchester Institute Colchester Institute provides first class education, professional development and technical skills training to over 8,000 young people and adults every year. The College supports individuals to launch or develop their careers, and local businesses to access the skills and talent they need to thrive. The College has two main campuses in Colchester and Braintree. Programmes include full and part time further education courses, degrees and Apprenticeships as well as short courses for industry. Vocational learning is an integral part of all of our courses, where the knowledge gained from practical activities with cutting edge, industry standard resources, work placements and theory provides students with strong knowledge and skills in their chosen field. Our ambition is to ensure that all students achieve the best possible results they can, giving them a competitive edge when entering employment or taking their studies to the next level.

Colchester Institute is regionally recognised for its outstanding facilities, which are constantly being renewed and refreshed. Recent developments include a brand new STEM Innovation Centre at our Braintree campus, extensive new facilities for Creative and Digital Media in Colchester and Braintree and a welcoming library and study zones in Colchester. These developments complement our existing fantastic facilities for Hospitality and Food, Performing Arts and Art and Design and many well equipped classroom spaces. Projects currently underway include a new Learning and Technology Centre in Braintree and a new Health and Care Development Centre in Colchester, with realistic clinical and care facilities. Our degree students, enrolled at University Centre Colchester enjoy their own building and facilities and study on a wide range of degrees and apprenticeships, which are also focused strongly on preparing them for work, or progression at work. UCC has an excellent track record for its graduates gaining work or further study on leaving the University Centre. Contact: P: 01206 712000 E: info@colchester.ac.uk Photo credit: Colchester Institute
