Northbrook College is a further education and higher education college that is part of the Chichester College Group.
It currently has three campuses: Broadwater Campus and West Durrington Campus in Worthing and Shoreham Airport Campus in Shoreham-by-Sea, although in 2024 it announced its intention to sell the 2.4-ha (5.9-acre) Broadwater Campus which would be closed in 2025, with learning consolidated across the West Durington site and Worthing College's site in Broadwater.[3]
It was founded in or before 1890 as the Worthing School of Art and Science.[1]
The college is the largest provider of higher education for the creative and cultural industries in West Sussex. It is also a significant provider of higher education in a variety of other work-related areas.
The college also has contracts for apprenticeship training and adult and community learning, and provides courses in most work-related areas as well as those for personal development.
The college's creative degrees, including fashion, photography and media in Worthing are validated by the University of the Arts London[4] and its Motorsport courses in Shoreham are validated by the University of Brighton.[5]
