Redevelopment program

In June 2011, the College completed a 10-year redevelopment programme, which involved construction of new buildings. Following the opening of the Sixth Form Academy in 2004 and the Renaissance Building in 2006, the third building, aptly named the Jubilee Building, was opened in the college's 25th year and welcomed its first students in January 2010. The building programme drew to a close with the completion of a new Construction and Engineering Building and an extension to the existing Renaissance Building to provide additional media facilities, including a new state-of-the-art studio. The latter two buildings opened in autumn 2010, with landscaping and grounds work completed the following summer.

Courses

Selby College offers different levels of learning from Entry Level up to Honorary Degree courses. It provides awards up to degree level from the University of Hull and Huddersfield University. The college also works with Edexcel to provide Higher National Certificates and Diplomas (HNC & HND).

Selby College provides vocational courses for 14- to 16-year-olds still in school.

Selby College Business Services

Selby College Business Services offers training and consultancy services to local businesses to help them meet their legislative and staff training and development needs.
