City of Glasgow College. In September 2010 the College landscape in Scotland changed when the City of Glasgow College was formed, Scotland’s newest and largest College. This was a result of the merger of the following three former Glasgow Colleges: Central College, Metropolitan College and the College of Nautical Studies. The College has a portfolio of specialist FE, HE and community courses and now forms part of a cosmopolitan and integrated learning district right at the heart of Scotland’s most dynamic city, meeting the needs of the education and training needs of 1 in 10 of all Scotland’s FE students. The student population is diverse and reflective of the city centre transport connectivity and the metropolitan pull, with 50% of learners travelling to the college to undertake specialist provision from outwith the region and representation within the college’s international student population from 135 different countries. A wide choice of vocational courses is offered through 10 Academic Schools. Specialist provision includes: Law, Procurement, Nautical Studies (directly serving the shipping industry), Food, Commerce and Engineering. The College is in a strong position to contribute to the development of best practice across the sector locally, regionally and nationally. The college works with over 1,500 employers at local, national and international level and has a wide range of longstanding partnerships with the local communities that it serves. It is expected that Inspection reports from the recent Education Scotland review will report positively with regards confidence and finding of examples of sector leading and innovative practices. Bringing the curriculum of the three former legacy colleges together under the umbrella of a single governance and management structure has ensured that the curriculum has been mapped to avoid duplication across the organisation and has been planned and adjusted according to a clear business plan, based on challenging targets for student retention and achievement. A detailed curriculum portfolio review exercise has been initiated to ensure that our portfolio remains focused on government strategic initiatives, the needs of employers and dovetails with Higher Education articulation requirements. This review has reflected the Scottish Governments Curriculum for Glasgow consultation and has been refined in conjunction with the Scottish Governments review of post 16 education and the final confirmation from the Scottish Funding Council and govern...
