HOW WE CAN HELP

Did you know that most students who study at City College Plymouth don’t pay anything for their course?

Courses for 16-18 year-olds are funded by the Education & Skills Funding Agency, and a wide range of courses for adults aged 19+ are either funded or partially funded too.

In addition, the College has a dedicated Funding Office that does everything it can to support students with what they need to succeed, including travel costs, meals, childcare, laptops and tech, books, course equipment, and much more.

Free Breakfast and Bus Travel

We offer every student a free breakfast on College days and access to a free bus service running Monday to Friday from the City Centre to the Kings Road campus.
