Bicton College
The College is developing a strong reputation in sustainable development, having developed a new Environmental and Renewable Technologies Hub (EaRTH) which was opened by the Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove in May this year. The College farm operates an extensive dairy system across its 160 hectares, a lower cost approach that is less vulnerable to the fluctuation of milk prices. The overall estate comprises 200 hectares of open parkland and rolling countryside; a majestic Georgian manor house overlooks the beautiful lake and sits alongside the latest in modern facilities and equipment. It is the perfect setting for the range of land-based courses that are available from entry level to higher education, 89% of students from Bicton College go on to enter a career of their choice – this number is rising.
