It is based in the city of Nottingham in England. It provides education and training from pre-entry through to university-degree level, at its 11 centres in the city and around Nottinghamshire. HistoryNottingham College is an amalgamation of two former further education colleges, New College Nottingham and Central College Nottingham. New College NottinghamNew College Nottingham (NCN) was formed from Arnold and Carlton College, which opened in 1960; Basford Hall College of Further Education, which opened 1969; Clarendon College of Further Education, which was founded in 1919 and became a further-education college in 1948 whose current campus opened in 1960; and the High Pavement Sixth Form College, which was founded as a school in 1788 and has offered sixth form education since 1975; the current campus opened in 2001. In December 2015 New College Nottingham underwent its new inspection framework Ofsted inspection and received a Grade 2 (Good) overall, having been rated as Good in all individual categories.[1] Central College NottinghamCentral College Nottingham was a further education college based over ten sites in Nottinghamshire. The college was formed from the merger of Castle College Nottingham and South Nottingham College. South Nottingham College was founded in 1970 in West Bridgford, while Castle College Nottingham was founded on 1 June 2006 from the merger of Broxtowe College and The People's College in Nottingham. The People's College was the oldest further education college in England, having been founded in 1847. Following a public consultation, which ran from December 2010 to January 2011, it was decided that Castle College Nottingham and South Nottingham College should merge. The colleges officially merged on 1 July 2011. The merged college was renamed 'Central College Nottingham' in November 2012.[2] 2017 mergerOn 8 June 2017, New College Nottingham merged with Central College Nottingham to form Nottingham College, one of the largest colleges in the UK, with around 15,000 full-time students, 40,000 when part-time students are included. Upon merging the colleges in June 2017, Nottingham College CEO John van de Laarschot said: "We have a unique opportunity to bring students and employers into a single, dynamic learning environment and I want to encourage employers, partners, parents and students to join us as we design a new and very different kind of college".[3] The college todayThe college is a general further and higher education college and offers a range of courses corresponding to the ISCED band 4 and 5.
CoursesA-level coursesA-levels are the traditional entry route to universities, and a sixth-form college such as this, has been the option chosen by students that want, at 16, to leave the security and restrictions of a secondary school. There are entry requirements to each course, students must have evidence of success at GCSEs, and normally have a pass of Grade C or above in a related subject. They will study 3 or 4 subjects. Nottingham College offers over 20 popular subjects, but a limited range of languages and more specialised subjects. All the academic subjects are studied at the High Pavement site, though Art and Textiles at Stoney Street and Photography at the Adams Building.[4]University-level coursesNottingham College offers a range of university-level courses recognised by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) in partnership with higher education institutions including Nottingham Trent University, Edexcel, University of Derby, University of Warwick and Middlesex University London. The foundation degree law course, developed with Nottingham Trent University and introduced in 2004, was the first to be nationally recognised by the Law Society. {{citation needed|date=November 2018}} Locations{{Tone|section|date=November 2018}}There are eleven centres around the city.[5] The aspiration is to consolidate many of these into one, the "City Hub" that will open in 2020, on disused brownfield land next to the Broadmarsh Centre and tram overpass at the foot of Lace Market Cliff.[6] Adams BuildingThe Adams Building opened in 1998, it is the main focus for the College's Higher Education provision as well as art and design, fashion and textiles, business, digital media and GCSEs courses.[7] Much of the provision is delivered in the Grade II listed seven storey Adams Building, a converted lace factory on Stoney Street in the historic Lace Market, and at the nearby School of Art and Design at 25 Stoney Street.
