Last year, Kirklees College marked a remarkable milestone: 200 years of providing education in the heart of West Yorkshire.

Founded in 1825, we have spent our history shaping lives, creating opportunities, and equipping generations of students with the skills they need to succeed. We’re showing no sign of slowing down.

From our roots in Huddersfield and Dewsbury to our current status of educating over 13,000 learners annually, Kirklees College combines a rich history with a forward-looking mission: “Creating Opportunities, Changing Lives.”

Our Open Day attendees will get to see how that mission is more than just a statement and something that is seen with every element of life at our college.

Check out the state-of-the-art facilities

Visitors attending our Open Day on 7 February at our centres in Huddersfield and Dewsbury can see for themselves how investment in the college’s facilities keeps learning current and relevant.

We believe that all our students deserve the highest standard of education, and our state-of-the-art facilities help us to create the best environment to deliver engaging education and training.

Students of all ages benefit from industry-standard equipment, digital technologies, and specialist spaces designed to replicate real-world workplaces, giving them the confidence and competence to succeed in their chosen fields.
