Studying at Middleton Campus...
You will be taught in our state of the art 4,500-square metre Technology Centre at our Middleton Campus. Under the guidance of our highly experienced tutors, you will have access to our industry-standard equipment located in our bespoke workshops.

It was refreshing to come to Hopwood Hall College. The facilities are the best around and my tutors looked after me. One of the lessons I’ve learned is to pursue what you enjoy and be willing to try different things. You have to take whatever opportunities come by.
