High Wycombe is set to enter an exciting new chapter, with Buckinghamshire College Group’s flagship town-centre campus creating a transformational learning environment that will help shape the future workforce of Buckinghamshire.
Bringing together the College’s existing Amersham and Flackwell Heath provision, the new campus will welcome more than 1,300 full-time and part-time students from a wide range of backgrounds and at different stages of their education and careers.
From school leavers and adult learners to those looking to retrain or upskill, it will create new opportunities for people across the county.
Located across Oxford Road and Brook Street, the development represents a major investment in skills, education and the future prosperity of the region. Aligned with local and national skills priorities, it will support sectors critical to Buckinghamshire’s growth, including construction, health and social care, digital and creative industries.
At the heart of the development, the seven-storey Oxford Road building will not only become a new landmark in the High Wycombe skyline but will provide a dynamic learning environment, featuring state-of-the-art facilities including a simulation healthcare ward, a professional film and TV studio, and immersive learning spaces. Modern classrooms, specialist workshops, creative studios, digital learning spaces and collaborative social areas will further enhance the student experience.
Just a short walk away, will be a purpose-built Construction and Engineering Skills Centre on Brook Street. Alongside strengthening the College’s established construction provision, the facility will introduce exciting new engineering opportunities, helping students develop the technical skills, confidence and experience needed to succeed in one of the UK’s most innovative sectors.
Students will benefit from an exciting mix of subjects. From art, photography, music, media and animation to healthcare, business and uniformed public services, learners will have access to industry-relevant equipment and practical experiences that prepare them for future careers.
More than simply a new collection of buildings, the campus has been designed to strengthen the connection between education and employment. By bringing together practical learning, technology and employer engagement in one central location, it will help learners gain the skills, knowledge and experience needed to thrive in an evolving economy.
With construction now firmly underway, Buckinghamshire College Group’s new High Wycombe Campus will become a hub for skills, innovation and opportunity, supporting individuals, strengthening communities and helping drive economic growth across the region for years to come.
