Welcome to Cornwall College St Austell!

We're really excited for you to join the Cornwall College family and can’t wait to welcome you on the next step towards the career you are dreaming of.

Our campus has some really incredible facilities for you to explore and make use of during your time with us. We have an inspiring 224-seater modern theatre that hosts vibrant performances throughout the year, four bespoke dance and drama studios, impressive media suites and music recording studios, six professional hair and beauty salons, an award-winning training restaurant and an industry-standard engineering, plumbing and construction space in our dedicated skills centres.

At Cornwall College we pride ourselves on being a part of the career college - it runs through everything we do. From the moment you start your journey with us, our expert staff and dedicated teams across campus will work with you to make sure you are ready to secure the job you want when your time here ends.

As well as preparing you for life after college, it is also really important that you enjoy your time here as well. That’s why we have invested £14,000 in our student space, which now includes pool tables, games consoles, table tennis, table football and chill out areas for you to use whenever you want. We have an excellent refectory on campus providing delicious food and Costa Coffee to keep us going! We also have amazing student support teams, who work closely with your student union to make sure your voice is heard and your college experience is the best it can possibly be.

I am really looking forward to seeing you out on campus and saying hello in person in a few weeks’ time!
