Welcome to Pembrokeshire College

We look forward to welcoming you to Pembrokeshire College as your potential home for the next two years of your A-level or vocational studies.

Our College has been teaching international students since 1992. Since then we have prided ourselves on the education and support we have given to students from all over the world, engaging them in diploma and A-level programmes as well as summer schools and pre-university pathways.

We welcome applications from international students who are looking to study either a vocational or academic programme that will prepare them for progression to university.

Study with us and you will experience teaching excellence whilst living in a truly inspiring setting and preparing for your next steps.

Should you join us, your challenge this September will be to prepare for your future, to grow and to succeed. It will be our responsibility to ensure that you meet all three challenges and achieve your full potential.

We look forward to welcoming you.
