There’s a lot more to Myerscough College than just its Preston campus. Myerscough has centres of learning across the North West, all of which are well equipped with teaching resources and full network access – to provide students with the best learning experience.

The College’s Blackburn Centre is located within the Visitor Centre at Witton Country Park. Set in 480 acres of park and woodland, yet only two miles from the town centre, Witton Park provides the ideal venue for students wishing to undertake a range of courses in Animal Studies and Foundation Learning, supported by computer and library facilities that are linked to the main College campus at Preston.

There are extensive practical facilities on site for animal care and management, with a wide range of companion animals including rabbits and small rodents as well as collections of reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates.

A variety of housing is used and students have access to specialist equipment for animal husbandry and a dedicated dog grooming salon. Students also have opportunities to visit local, animal-based industries such as dog trainers and farms.

They will be offered a range of interesting guest speakers throughout the College year. There are also excellent resources for horticulture and landscape including impressive grounds and plant collections, cultivated areas, glasshouses, potting sheds, a tree nursery and a vast expanse of park and woodland.
