Southampton College, formerly known as Southampton City College, is a general further education college located in Southampton, Hampshire, England. Since 2023 it has been part of the South Hampshire College Group (SHCG), along with Eastleigh and Fareham colleges.[1]
There has been a school of some kind on the site since the 1930s, but the current institution originated with the establishment of a technical college in 1952. Much of the current campus was constructed during a period of redevelopment from 2001 to 2012, and the Warsash Maritime School was also located on its St. Mary Street Campus from 2017 to 2024.
The college offers various study programmes for young people and adults as part of the SHCG, including professional, technical and creative courses as well as apprenticeships. It specialises in marine, engineering, early years, hospitality, digital and the creative arts.[2]
