The College is now in the final year of an exciting five-year plan which has the primary aim of increasing and broadening the audience which the College reaches. The funding for the following five years has been agreed by the College’s historic sponsors and provides a firm base from which to deliver an ambitious and exciting program. The future College strategy sees us continuing to evolve our work in growing audiences in both numbers and diversity, while taking advantage of opportunities to develop income streams to stretch our ambition further.
The current academic program consists of 100 lectures for the general public as well as lectures delivered to young people in schools and a growing oracy competition for young people.
