Oldham College was established in 1893 following a donation from the Platt family who were famously manufacturers of têxtile machinery. Their generosity led to the institution of the school for art and science in Oldham Town Centre.

Today we offer an extensive range of qualifications in a variety of curriculum areas including Digital & Creative, Performing Arts & Media, Financial & Professional Services, Sport, Travel & Uniformed Public Services, Construction & the Built Environment, Caring Professions and Retail & Commercial.

We work closely with employers to provide relevant, high-level skills development and, ultimately highly employable students. Over recent years, we have invested over £22million in our campus and facilities. We are delighted to have three new buildings with state of the art facilities for students to use and enjoy. Each year we are happy to welcome almost 10,000 students across our full and part-time courses.

Values and Vision Oldham College believes in the value of ambition, courage, responsiveness, integrity, and inclusion. These values provide a solid foundation for students and for staff to develop the knowledge and skill sets to move forward successfully.
