Step into the Future with Burnley College’s Cutting-Edge Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Department

After 18 months of meticulous design and construction, Burnley College is excited to invite industry insiders to explore its newly-redesigned Department of Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing.

This exclusive one-day Engineering Inspo – or ‘open workshop’ event – offers a behind-the-scenes look at our innovative Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing facilities at the Number 1 College in England*.

This transformation, powered by a £1.6m investment, is the product of comprehensive research and strategic alliances with top-tier employers from the world of Engineering and beyond.

The Engineering division at Burnley College is now a key partner in the revolutionary Lancashire and Cumbria Institute of Technology and the state-of-the-art facilities reflect that.

David Lord, Head of Construction and Engineering at the College says:
