Coleg Gorseinon College was a further education college situated to the west of Swansea, in the suburb of Upper Loughor in Gorseinon. It was frequently ranked as one of the best sixth-form colleges in Wales and the United Kingdom. Recently the college was rated as 'outstanding' by Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education and Training.[1] Gorseinon College merged with Swansea College on 20 August 2010 to create a single sixth form and further education college for the Swansea area called Gower College Swansea.
The college was established in 1955 as a mining college for the local area. By 1982, the college became a tertiary college, and was incorporated in 1993. It had over 1,700 full-time students and over 1,900 part-time students in 2006/7,[2] which placed it as a medium-sized college by Welsh standards.[3] During the late 1990s, the college had a high increase in the number of students with an FTE base of 1,800. Gorseinon College offered a range of course from nearly 50 A and AS level subjects ranging from Classics to Environmental Studies to Mathematics and Media Studies, over 20 vocational subjects from Motor Vehicles to Engineering to Information Technology. The college also had several other preparation courses such as Army and Oxbridge preparation courses, the latter of which was rated as an 'Outstanding feature of the college.[4]
