Exciting things are happening at a college in Rochdale and Middleton – and you can see for yourself at its upcoming 'Access All Areas' open event.
Hopwood Hall College and University Centre, which is making a huge investment in its buildings and facilities, will open its doors to school leavers and adult learners from 4.30pm to 7pm on Thursday, April 7, 2022.
At the event, Year 11 students will get a great taste of college life as they learn about post-school options such as apprenticeships, BTECs and the revolutionary new T-Levels.
Those aged 19 and over will also have a wide selection of pathways to explore, including part-time courses that take place face-to-face, online and on a flexible basis.
In addition, those who want to access life-changing Higher Education without the hassle or expense of moving away from home can find out about Hopwood’s thriving University Centre.
Similarly, visitors can also learn about Access – the fast-track route to university for people who don’t currently have the qualifications needed to advance to Higher Education.
This event couldn’t come at a better time – with plenty of thrilling new sights to see at both campuses.
At Middleton, there’s a huge amount of work ongoing, including a £6.1m extension being made to the 6,500sq-m Technology Centre.
It’s just a stone’s throw away from campus staples such as the Sports Arena and the Hopwood Theatre.
There are also vast wildlife enclosures that home creatures like flamingos and wallabies, and are also the site of the popular Animal Academy for 13 to 16-year-olds in Greater Manchester.
Meanwhile, Rochdale features the most modern equipment for courses such as media, games development and esports.
