Bispham Campus

Located just north of Blackpool, Bispham is the largest of our campuses with many facilities available to both students and members of the public.

Gateway Campus

Located in Central Blackpool, this dedicated facility accommodates all our Gateway and Traineeship programmes and provides an exclusive environment where young people can develop their skills and increase their chances of finding sustainable employment.

Ansdell Campus

To the south of the Fylde is our Ansdell Campus, a purpose-built hair, beauty and related therapies facility and one of the finest in the region.

Fleetwood Nautical Campus

Our northernmost campus is the Fleetwood Nautical Campus, home to maritime operations and offshore training for the oil and gas industries.

Accommodation

In Blackpool, student accommodation ranges from guest houses and self-catering flats to privately owned house shares. Our links with landlords/ladies are long established and most accommodation is located within easy reach of the College.

Self-catering accommodation

If you decide to rent a flat or a bedsit, you’ll have to buy and prepare your own food and pay for your gas and electricity (usually by meter). In a complex of flats, the landlord/lady will probably live there too, along with other students.
Cost: Around £75 to £95 per person per week

Room in a shared house

In a house share, you will have your own bedroom but share the rest of the house with other students (anything from 3 to 6 depending on how big the house is). A lot of landlords ask for their rent termly and can offer inclusive rents (this means your bills are included). You’ll need to buy your own food as well.
Cost: Around £75 to £95 per person per week for the rent
