Intro
Hopwood Hall College is a UK government-funded, further education college. The College is situated on two campuses, Rochdale and Middleton, five miles apart to the north-east of Manchester. We have a wide range of student facilities and support networks across both sites.
The Rochdale Campus is in the heart of Rochdale, a town 12 miles (19 km) from Manchester. Rochdale bus station is only a five minute walk away.
The majority of the courses that are taught here are vocational skills-based courses in hairdressing, beauty and beauty therapy, construction, art & design. Facilities at the Rochdale campus include:
- Our popular training restaurant "The Cottons" - open to students, staff and the general public at very competitive prices
- "The Image" - our hairdressing and beauty training salon - which offers to the students, staff and public a variety of treatments performed by qualified teaching and vocational staff
The Middleton Campus is located in the green-belt and is only 8 miles (13 km) from Manchester. Public transport travels onto the site, with five dedicated bus services from Rochdale, Newhey, Failsworth, Shaw and Heywood.
A-levels, business and sport courses are taught on this campus. In addition to the college’s residential accommodation the Middleton Campus has:
- A state-of-the-art £6 million building opened in September 2005, housing classrooms, learning resource centre, student services, cafeteria, bistro, shops and conference facilities
