About Askham Bryan College
Askham Bryan College is a further education college based in York. It is a non-denominational college.
Originally opened in 1948, the first students enrolled on residential courses at the then Yorkshire Institute of Agriculture. Until 1964 only agriculture and horticulture courses were available but during the 1970s the range of subjects was broadened and higher education qualifications were also offered. Today the college offers courses from entry level to honours degrees and has a turnover of £29 million.

Values and vision
Askham Bryan College wishes for its students to leave the college being ‘work-ready’. As such, it is proud of its close links with employers, who help to shape its courses to make sure students are taught the skills and knowledge needed to give them the best possible start to their chosen career.
The college also prides itself on its students and staff benefitting from what it considers to be excellent specialist facilities. A recent capital project of £10 million has resulted in new buildings and educational facilities being established, including a state-of-the-art wildlife and conservation park facility.
