This article appears as part of a paid partnership with Myerscough College

Join the Myerscough College family and kickstart your dream career

Leaving school this summer? If you live in Cumbria and dream of a career in agriculture, animal care or arboriculture, then join the Myerscough College family this September!

Our partnership with Ullswater Community College means you can live at home & enjoy blended learning on sector-leading programmes, at Level 2 or 3.

And now, the next cohort of students are now being recruited in to this exciting, new, land-based educational offer for Cumbria.

Since 2021, agriculture, animal studies and arboriculture post-16 school leaver programmes have been available as a highly successful partnership between Myerscough College and Ullswater Community College, in Penrith.

Come along to our Course Advice Morning at Ullswater Community College, Wetheriggs Lane, Penrith (SAT NAV: CA11 8NG) on Saturday, May 13, 10am-noon, to find out more, and chat to our sector leading staff about how we can kickstart your dream career

Students follow an innovative, blended learning model where learners still live at home, while enjoying the benefit of quality, local, academic study, with theory and classroom sessions in Penrith, combined with free, additional weekly travel to Myerscough College’s main Bilsborrow campus, near Preston, where for animal and agriculture students, practical elements are taught in state-of-the-art, sector leading facilities.

These include a state-of-the-art, multi-million-pound Food and Farming Innovation & Technology Centre (FFIT), the only one of its kind in the UK, and a specialist rural skills centre and animal studies centre.

The collaboration recognises the importance of the future of the land-based sector, and in particular, the agriculture, animal management and arboriculture sectors to the county, and how vital it is that the next generation have the best possible opportunity to obtain high level qualifications locally, while in addition, the programmes provide a genuine and exciting solution for any other students from across Cumbria, who had perhaps previously felt full-time study so far from home was too much of an obstacle.

Places are still available for September 2023 entry. Apply today.

More details of all study programmes and applications for 2023 entry can be found at www.myerscough.ac.uk/cumbria

Myerscough College staff will also be attending most of the shows this summer.

Come and meet us at:

  • Northumberland County Show – May 27
  • Cumberland Show – June 10
  • Skelton Show – July 1
  • Penrith Show – July 15
  • Appleby Show – August 10
  • Dalston Show – August 12
  • Westmorland County Show – September 14
