Reviews on Fircroft College of Adult Education
More information
Description
Founded in 1909 by George Cadbury Jr, Fircroft College is an adult residential college based in Selly Oak,
Birmingham. It offers a unique experience where students live and learn in a friendly and attractive environment,
working with highly-skilled and supportive staff.
Fircroft is located in a beautiful Edwardian building, formerly a Cadbury family home, situated in six acres of peaceful gardens. The College has modern learning resources, computer facilities, library and a secure environment with onsite night support, as well as a common room and recreation room for students. The library and other resources are open 24 hours a day. All bedrooms are on-campus – none are shared and all have en-suite facilities. Living at the College allows you to really get away from it all, so you can focus on fulfilling your potential and achieving the best possible results. It gives you the opportunity to engage with a diverse network of people and means help from staff or from other students is never far away. For those with dependents, there are non-residential as well as residential places available.
There is a friendly and active social scene for those that want to get involved, with regular activities and trips going on.
Birmingham itself offers something for all tastes – be it shopping, nightlife, culture, sport and lots more. Fircroft hasexcellent public transport links with regular buses and trains to central Birmingham (about fifteen minutes away) and elsewhere. If you’re new to the area, we’ll show you around!
