Welcome from the Principal   

We’re delighted that you’re here, exploring how we can support you, your future, and your ambitions. 

At Newbury College and University Centre Newbury, we believe in creating opportunities that transform lives. Whether you’re beginning your journey, developing your career, or growing your workforce, we offer high‑quality technical and professional education designed to help people thrive. Our programmes are shaped around the skills our region needs most.  

We are proud to be West Berkshire’s first‑choice vocational education provider, working closely with employers to develop talented people and open doors to meaningful careers. Our partnerships underpin everything we do, from apprenticeships and industry placements to professional development for adults.  

Our campus combines exceptional facilities with an inclusive and supportive environment. From specialist workshops and labs to our training restaurant, salons and renewable energy centre, students gain real experience that builds confidence and capability.  

But what truly defines us are our values: 

  • Aspiration: We focus on our ethos of careers, not courses, helping you build a future you’re proud of. 
  • Integrity: We do what we say we will and empower individuals to take ownership of their development. 
  • Respect: We work collaboratively with students, staff, employers and our community to create the best outcomes for our learners and the local economy. 

Whether you’re an individual or a local business, we aim to be the place where you can develop, grow and succeed. 

Thank you for considering Newbury College, we look forward to supporting your journey.
