We work collaboratively with partnership organisations, including the Anglia Ruskin University, University of East Anglia and John Innes, giving our students the best possible experience and access to real world laboratory conditions. We have scheduled visits to ARU Super Lab covering Pharmaceutical and Medical Science as well as UEA Health Sciences rotation workshops

We deliver a range of courses from Access to HE diploma in medicine, biosciences, healthcare, forensics, A'Level Sciences and GCSE Sciences. We run a the prestigious Bioscience degree in partnership with ARU and are supported by a great team including fellow Lecturers, technicians and the School of Nursing.

We are a successful, community-focused FE College based in the East of England. We have a thriving Science Team and in recent years, the department has grown from strength to strength. We offer an incredible training package and a chance to work within tight knit and supportive teams.
