Education and Training

Belfast Met is the largest Further and Higher Education College in Northern Ireland and one of the largest in the UK.

We have developed a dynamic new curriculum which mirrors the priority growth areas identified for Northern Ireland as this is where future jobs will be created. Through our partnerships with industry, we constantly adapt our curriculum to meet the skill demands of our economy.

We provide a unique breadth of education and training at every level and have designed a portfolio of courses to address a variety of skill needs – from apprenticeship and Level 1 courses, to those undertaking degrees and post-graduate study.

Coupled with this is our commitment to ensuring that our students have access to opportunities which will enhance their employability and job-ready skills.

Our focus for the future is to support the development of Belfast by providing education, training and skills development to enhance individual, community and economic prosperity.

Over the next three years we will sustain and improve our responsiveness to learners, employers and communities. The College has already built an excellent reputation with employers for offering relevant, high quality learning.

We will build on this by focusing on developing long-term mutually beneficial partnerships and becoming recognised as an expert in key and emerging growth areas.

Working in partnership, we will increase participation, progression, attainment and skill levels of all our students.
