Who we are
We are a large community college situated in the south west of Glasgow. Our main campus, the Mosspark Drive Campus, was opened in 1972 and each year is home to over 2,000 full-time students and 10,000 part-time students. As a community college, we serve the surrounding local areas, but students come from all over the Scotland to study with us.
We have recently completed the second phase of our estates project at our Mosspark Drive Campus. The project includes the £8 million Skills Centre, a Children's Centre, a Hairdressing, Beauty and Holistic Therapy salon, and fully refurbished classrooms.
We also have an outreach campus, The Greater Pollok Community Learning Centre, which is located in the Priesthill area of the southwest of Glasgow. This outreach centre is often referred to as our Priesthill Campus and runs a large number of leisure classes.
