TUNE IN AND TURN IT UP 📻
Lunchtime listening around campus is now broadcast by our new College Radio Station (yet to be officially named!)
Here is second year criminology, psychology and forensics student Ruby, live on air yesterday presenting the show! 🎧
Being part of the radio show is just one of the many choices available on our Upskilling Programme, which is designed to be a valuable enrichment alongside your studies. This programme is vital in aiding your personal development as a student, by giving you another experience and set of real-world skills; plus you have a lot of fun whilst doing it, with new peers not necessarily on your courses!

FILEY FRIDAY 🐚
We hope all students have had a great first full week of lessons! 🎉
Wilberforce Biologists and Geographers have enjoyed glorious weather on their Field Trip today in the beautiful Filey Bay.
As well as the incredible international trips that are available on your courses, trips and visits to places on our own Isles provide an integral experience in collecting real data out in the field which is required for the research needed for your studies, especially if you are wanting to pursue further study after college.
Trips are also the perfect opportunity to get to know your peers better, outside of the classroom and create unique long-lasting memories! ✨

Wilberforce College has been a prominent establishment in the Hull community since 1988. We have grown year on year and currently serve around 1,350 students from East Hull, West Hull and the East Riding villages.
We offer all the specialisms of a sixth form college, delivering exclusively to 16-19 years olds, but have a broad curriculum that includes A Level, T Level, BTEC and City & Guilds qualifications. Our Level 3 Advanced qualifications are particularly successful and we continuously see our students progress to some of the best universities and careers.
The College’s support services are outstanding and complement students’ learning to ensure that they have the best chance of success and their experience with us extends beyond the classroom.
