We are the first college group in the UK to be granted Bachelor degree awarding powers alongside Foundation degree awarding powers by the Office for Students – meaning the academic quality and standards of our degrees are equal to any university.  WCG was delighted to be awarded the Queen’s Anniversary prize in 2021 for being a “leading provider of engineering apprenticeships in the Midlands,”
