Clydebank College

Clydebank College opened its doors to its new campus at the Queens Quay on the 27th August 2007 and since then has been causing considerable interest in both educational and business realms.

The college campus is proudly built on the world-renowned site of John Brown ship engineering and lies humbly next to the River Clyde. This riverside setting provides a much talked about and unusual backdrop to this dynamic new building and has already been dubbed by its students as the ‘Coolest College this side of the Clyde’.

The 6 acre Queen’s Quay building houses modern engineering and construction workshops, highly equipped science labs and advanced sporting facilities within the fitness suite, which includes a gym ‘Energize’ and games hall.  The new campus also houses an impressive conference suite which has been heavily utilised by local and international business since its opening at the start of the academic term. Impressively the conference suite is sponsored by the famous cruise liner Cunard and enjoys stunning views over the River Clyde.

Clydebank College is proud to deliver courses in many exciting areas, its impressive portfolio includes over 100 fulltime, 85 part time and countless leisure and outreach programmes.

The Department of Media and Communication offers several general creative media courses which are highly relevant to media industries which desire multi-skilled, flexible employees.

There are non-advanced courses: (NA Film and Media Studies and NC Media), both of which include Film studies and Television production and NC Media also includes Drama and Presenting Skills for Radio and Television; and Advanced courses (HNC/D Creative Industries: Media and Communication) which include units in Radio, Video Production, Writing for the Media, Research Skills, etc.

The College is equipped with both Television and Radio studios and edit suites which give students hands-on technical expertise as well as experience in non-technical fields such as presenting and scriptwriting.

Each year, the college runs a Film competition – Focus on Film: The Clydebank Oscars, which is judged by prominent external media personnel.
