Hopwood Hall College

Hopwood Hall College was incorporated in 1992 and officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II on 17 July 1992. The College operates from two campuses in Rochdale and Middleton. The Rochdale campus was formerly home to Rochdale College of Further Education, Rochdale College of Art and Rochdale Technology College, all of which merged when the College was incorporated. The Middleton campus prior to incorporation was home to the De La Salle College of Higher Education, an affiliated college of Manchester University.Since its opening, Hopwood Hall College has provided A Level courses for sixth form students from the local area. However, since Rochdale Sixth Form College opened in September 2010, the college discontinued A Level provision concentrating on vocational further education for school leavers, Apprenticeships and courses for adult learners.A series of capital projects have been undertaken and completed since incorporation. A Sports Arena was opened on 25 September 2002 by Ivan Lewis, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Learning and Skills, and Paul Scholes of Manchester United Football Club. The Henry West Building at the Middleton campus was officially opened on 26 May 2006 by college governor Henry West. On 6 April 2006, Lord Tom Pendry, President of The Football Foundation, opened the Football Pavilion and Astroturf football pitch at the Middleton campus. A £7.5m scheme to construct a purpose-built technology centre at the Middleton campus was completed in October 2011 and officially opened on 6 March 2012 by John Hayes, Minister of State for Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning.

Good college, friendly staff

When I have visited the Middleton campus I have always feel welcomed. The staff have always been very helpful and friendly.

Been trying to get 2 apprentice's for my works for the last 6 months, in total I have called them over 10 times to be told someone will call me back, im still waiting. why don't you just say your not interested and save everybody's time and energy. I'm trying to offer a good job for 2 people and your not even interested in placing students. Wast of time

A great college for the Uniformed Public Services Course.Over the two years that I was a student here, they provided me with hundreds of opportunities to gain extra qualifications, which gave me a huge advantage when joining the Royal Marines and later the Fire Service as well as volunteering over seas in Zimbabwe, Africa.If it wasn't for the support and patience of the tutors, I wouldn't have been able to achieve all that I have.

Racist student that does blackface should be expelled. the student I'm talking about is Dillon Miller please take action on this situation going on social media with this specific student and other kids, it's getting very out of hand and irresponsible for a 17 year old.

These students should be held accountable; Dillon Miller, Layla Fleck and Kester Williams

Very good just had tour around on the course my stepdaughter wants to do in September. Impressed and students there were very good.

A trip down memory Lane. Paul and I used to play here when we were kids.
