Do You Want To Study with us?
South Gloucestershire and Stroud College (SGS) has four main campuses – Stroud, Filton, WISE and Berkeley Green – as well as many local community venues, and we welcome around 15,500 full-time and part-time students of all ages every year. We also have venues in the centre of Bristol, at the West of England Academy of Art and at Bristol Zoo Gardens.
As a merged college, we now offer an even wider range of vocational and academic courses in an even greater range of subjects.
Even though we are a bigger college, we are committed to giving each and every one of our students the best possible education.
