Bury College Art students celebrated in Yinka’s Challenge
Our talented Art and Design students recently received recognition for their artwork after entering a nationwide arts and crafts competition.
Bury College is delighted to have been approved as a core partner of the Greater Manchester Institute of Technology (GMIoT). The College will be specialising in health and digital provision, providing greater opportunities for learners, employers and the wider community to benefit from higher technical skills and education in these key areas of local and regional need and demand.
Institutes of Technology (IoTs) are the government’s flagship programme designed to spearhead the delivery of higher technical education in STEM subjects. The first wave of 12 IoTs have already opened across the country. The Greater Manchester Institute of Technology has been approved as part of wave two of the national programme.
Being part of the GMIoT will help Bury College further expand its wide range of courses including new Higher Technical Qualifications and apprenticeships, which have been designed to support learners into jobs in growth sectors for Greater Manchester. As part of the approval, there will be resource investment to help provide improved buildings and facilities at Bury College.
The GMIoT has been developed in consultation with employers across Greater Manchester and will support individuals who might be considering a career in health and digital, including those looking to upskill or retrain.
Christian Wakeford, Member of Parliament for Bury South, said: “I am delighted to learn of this development and I’m proud to have been involved from the start. This can only open up Bury and North Manchester to develop further within the jobs market and is great news for the town.”
James Daly, Member of Parliament for Bury North, said: “Bury College’s partnership with Greater Manchester Institute of Technology will be transformative for the opportunities available for young people here in Bury. It is absolutely critical that local people are able to gain the skills needed to thrive in the modern workforce and this partnership is a massive step towards that for our town. Bury College is a fantastic organisation already and this partnership will allow them to go even further in supporting our young people.”

It’s thirteen years since Florivaldo Mossi left Bury College and his career has gone from strength to strength since he finished his course.
Many of our successful students are now looking to rewarding careers in the health sector after achieving exceptional results.
We are so proud of the Bury College T Level students that have become the first cohort to complete the qualification. They have already begun to look towards the future.
Bury College is incredibly proud of all its students for their wonderful achievements this year.
