The college specialises in science and engineering, and is backed by the University of Southampton. Its site on Wilton Road, about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the centre of Salisbury, is a refurbished former police headquarters.[3]
Closure
In July 2019, it was announced the college would not be accepting students in September 2019, and is scheduled to close in August 2020 as the Department for Education deemed it "no longer financially viable". The college would continue to support students already one year into their two-year courses.[4]
