Coleg Cambria in North East Wales is one of the UK's largest colleges,[1] with over 7000 full-time and 20,000 part-time students, and has international links covering four continents. Coleg Cambria was created following the merger of Deeside College and Yale College, Wrexham. Coleg Cambria began operating on 1 August 2013.[2] Coleg Cambria is a young adult community for people aged 16 years and older.

It serves three local authority areas with a total population of almost 400,000: more than 12% of the population of Wales.[3] The college works in partnership with over 1000 employers including Airbus, JCB, Kelloggs, Kronospan, Moneypenny, UPM Shotton Paper and Village Bakery.[3]

Coleg Cambria won the 2015 Global Enterprise Challenge.[4]

In November 2015, the college was inspected by Estyn and rated excellent in both current performance and prospects for improvement.[5]
