How to Find Us

On 1 August 2017 Uxbridge College and Harrow College merged to become HCUC. The colleges are now officially part of the same organisation and will work together to provide the best opportunities for our students. Although we are part of the same organisation the colleges will keep their individual names, so we will still be known as Harrow College and our students will study on one of our four campuses.

A merger betweenUxbridge College & Harrow College

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Harrow College. We are committed to delivering the highest standard of education for our students. We have a successful record of high achievement and student career progression, and we are determined to continue raising the bar so our students can compete for the best career opportunities. In this guide you will find details of the most extensive choice of courses in the Harrow area.

We’re confident you’ll be able to find a course that matches your goals - from both a personal and a career perspective. Our expert staff will help you to make decisions about what is right for your development and find the course that offers the best possible chance of success in the future. In addition to the range of courses that can be studied at Harrow College, this guide also introduces the comprehensive range of support services and facilities available.

Harrow College continues to raise standards. National statistics confirmed we are one of the highest achieving colleges in London and our 2016/17 year results for 16-18 year olds are 3% higher than the previous year. Ofsted reported, at the last inspection (2015), that ‘…in many lessons, teachers place a high focus on learners developing good professional standards’ and, importantly, that ‘specialist support for learners who require extra help with their studies is good and enables them to make good progress in their learning.’

Moreover, it is great to see our students’ continued high progression rate to university courses, with Ofsted commenting, ‘a high proportion of learners who apply to higher education are successful, with an increasing number securing places at prestigious universities.’

So much of our success is down to our exceptional staff who help Harrow College students achieve their full potential. Ofsted stated, ‘staff create an inclusive and harmonious environment where learners from very diverse backgrounds mix and work together very well.’
