Welcome to Duchy College!

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

Here at our Rosewarne campus, we have 120 acres of stunning grounds for you to explore during your time with us. This includes countryside spaces, ponds, orchards which produce our own Rosewarne apple juice, micropropagation and horticultural research facilities, a commercial nursey and we've also got incredible spaces for our resident livestock, birds and exotic and animals.

At Duchy 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. Your studies will be enriched through a variety of master classes and projects delivered by our colleagues within the Eden Project, Rural Business School and local employers.

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 thousands of pounds in our student experience. Dedicated spaces, designed by students, are here for you to enjoy over the duration of your course. 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!
