South Downs College

South Downs College is a provider of Higher Education teaching at levels 4 (HNC) and 5 (HND). These are both pre-degree level qualifications that could help further your employment prospects. Unlike many degrees, these courses are vocationally focussed and therefore can lead straight on to a career.

On-site we have excellent, modern facilities to accompany your course. This ranges from laboratories and kennels for Animal Management, to brand new recording studios in Music. Similar to University, South Downs College has a student union, many cafes, a gym and a well-stocked library to name just a few of the provisions available to our students. We also have a track record of success, owed partly to the smaller class sizes we are able to accommodate.

The College will be ambitious and proactive with regard to all opportunities and growth.

Our fantastic facilities include a brand new 4G Astroturf pitch, state of the art fitness centre, hair and beauty salons, engineering and motor vehicle workshops, a purpose built music building with a recital room, recording studio and rehearsal rooms, and a stylish restaurant, serviced by students on our catering and hospitality programmes that has just received an AA Rosette. Our four cafes each have their own distinctive features including plasma screens, Xbox Live! Consoles and WiFi internet access.

Our award winning restaurant, Synergy Salons and the College Shop are open to the public

South Downs College is situated on Portsdown Hill. Bus services are supplied by both Stagecoach and First, where Stagecoach buses will arrive at the bus stops outside the college.
