College of West Anglia

COWA LogoOn 1st April 2006, The College of West Anglia merged with Isle College in Wisbech to become one of the largest and most successful education and training providers in the Eastern Region.

Based on four campuses - King's Lynn in Norfolk, Milton, Isle and Wisbech in Cambridgeshire - and with local learning centres in Downham Market, Fakenham, March, Chattens, Sheringham and Hunstanton, we offer a wide range of courses in many areas, from short part-time courses to full-time degree programmes.

COWA BuildingThe College of West Anglia began offering Higher Education programmes in the mid 1980's. Today, we offer a broad range of courses covering both academic and vocational qualifications at Higher National Certificate, Higher National Diploma, Foundation Degree and BA and BSc Degree Level, as well as part-time Post Graduate Certificate in Education. Further expansion in Higher Education provision in the college will continue in the coming years to meet the needs of the local communities.

Regional University Partnership: Our undergraduate programmes are franchised and validated by Anglia Ruskin University under the 'Regional Partnership' umbrella. This means that our students have full access to all the facilities and services provided at Anglia Ruskin University campuses in Cambridge or Chelmsford.
