On our small, friendly campus you soon get to know both our staff and students. We also have staff from Ireland themselves, who can relate their teaching to your home country.

Accommodation is on site and there's lots to do when you're not studying! It's just a short distance to the nearest town Chippenham and from there you can explore further afield by coach or train easily.

With easy transport links from home through Bristol Airport or by ferry you can be at College in just a few hours.

At Lackham all our courses offer a broad range of practical experience taught by professional staff. Our large estate and working farm (1700 acres) provide students with the chance to use their new skills on a daily basis.

The walled garden, glasshouses and extensive grounds are inspiring places for students to develop their horticulture skills.

Strong links with manufacturers (such as Claas, New Holland) give students the opportunity to work with the very latest technology and machinery. Students also have the opportunity to gain professional certificates in industry related skills.
