DID YOU KNOW - we also offer degree courses!

University Centre Weston (UCW) enables learners to gain a full degree, right here in Weston-super-Mare. We have over 50 degree-level courses, including degree apprenticeships, delivered in partnership with our partner universities Bath Spa University and UWE Bristol.

Our smaller size makes us leaner and meaner. No big lecture theatres, instead we pride ourselves on having smaller classes meaning you get more personable relationship with lecturers/tutors which provides a higher level of support.

One Message, Different Voices

Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Halo workplace logo

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
