Studying at Central Saint Michael’s is not like studying at school or moving on to school sixth form. There are so many benefits to joining a Sixth Form College. When you join Central Saint Michael’s, you’ll enjoy some new-found independence. College life is inspiring, diverse and exciting, in a safe and supportive environment.

So what’s different about life at Central Saint Michael’s?

A University Style

We offer an adult ethos in a safe and supportive environment where students get to enjoy and develop their independence ready for University or the world of work. At Central Saint Michael’s we’ll prepare you for your next steps through structured sessions and dedicated UCAS talks, fairs and visits.

You’re supported to be your best

For some the step up to A Levels and out of school can be daunting, but rest assured we care passionately about our students and their wellbeing. We ensure that every learner benefits from the right level of support and is treated as an individual.

Your views matter

Life at College is much more than just what goes on in the classroom and there’s always something going on to get involved in – from regular film and open mic nights to trips to the theatre and live performances. Through the Student Union you can express your views on college life too, as well as getting involved in enrichment opportunities.

Our Campus

Life at our centrally located campus means you won’t be short of places to eat, drink and refuel during your study breaks. Our facilities are first class too, with five floors of ultra modern facilities, which makes Central Saint Michael’s a distinctive and vibrant place to study. We have everything from recording studios and science labs to study pods and IT suites. Our Digital Fab Lab is a must see!

Make college pay!

From our free College bus pass to bursary and welfare support, College doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact it’s the opposite: you can make it pay! Students at Central Saint Michael’s can take advantage of free travel, student discounts in New Square shops and online, as well as getting support with job applications from our Careers team. Being a Central Saint Michael’s student comes with lots of added benefits.
