Ayrshire College is a further education institution in Scotland. Formed in August 2013 from a merger between Ayr College, Kilmarnock College and the Largs and Kilwinning campuses of James Watt College, it serves the Ayrshire area, surrounding areas and overseas students. The college offers all the courses previously provided by its legacy institutions. Plans are underway to construct a new campus at Kilmarnock which is scheduled to open in September 2016.
Our aim is to serve the people, communities and employers in Ayrshire. Ayrshire College plays a key role in helping to develop the economy in Ayrshire, by ensuring that students develop the right skills and positive attitudes to support the local, regional and national workforce needs. We work in partnership with employers and other stakeholders to ensure we are focused on providing opportunities which meet demand in key industry sectors in Ayrshire and beyond and develop the high quality skills required for the economy. We are confident that by working together we will make Ayrshire College the best in Scotland; inclusive, innovative and sector leading. A college of which all our students, staff, stakeholders and communities will be proud.
