Banbury and Bicester College has announced new Student Welcome Days for prospective students on 2 July 2026. The events are designed to help those planning to join the college this September familiarise themselves with the campus, meet staff, and prepare for the upcoming academic year.
The college, located at Broughton Road in Banbury, Oxfordshire, is part of Activate Learning, a group that runs seven further education colleges across the region. The event forms part of a wider transition programme for new arrivals. Following the welcome days, the college will host a Connect to College Week starting 5 September, with regular timetabled teaching beginning on 12 September 2026.
As the largest further education college in North Oxfordshire, the institution offers over 100 courses. The Banbury campus has recently undergone renovations, and the college holds a Good rating from Ofsted as of 2022.
Students have access to hands-on learning through various industry partnerships. These include collaborations with Bicester Motion for classic vehicle restoration programmes and a partnership with Hyundai, which provides learners with access to modern vehicles for training at the motor vehicle centre.
