Programme Leader Higher Education

Bishop Burton College is one of the leading land-based Colleges in the UK with strong and sustained growth in student numbers, providing Further Education and Higher Education at our Campuses. We have a large and varied Estate spread over three sites, one situated in the picturesque village of Bishop Burton and the other two sites based near Lincolnshire. The Lincolnshire sites include a brand new Showground Campus featuring state of the art teaching environments, engineering workshops, sports facilities, world class laboratories and an industry leading animal management unit. At our Bishop Burton campus we have undergone a multi-million pound campus development programme including significant investment in state of the art teaching and learning facilities, sports facilities, a commercially run farm and an international standard equestrian facility.
