HRUC is a top-performing college group serving west and south London. Our colleges - Harrow, Richmond, and Uxbridge - have a strong history of student success. In our recent Ofsted inspection, we were praised for Outstanding Student Behaviour and Personal Development and rated ‘Strong for Skills.’ We offer high-quality courses, apprenticeships, and training programs, building strong partnerships with schools, businesses, and industries locally and globally. A major milestone is our membership in MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program, granting access to world-class research.

Our group includes the three Further Education colleges, the West London Institute of Technology (focused on STEM), and HRUC Apprenticeships & Skills, the largest FE apprenticeship provider in West London. Our colleges make a vital contribution to local economies, both through education and as a major employer. Our success drives new job opportunities, and we collaborate with industries to support talent recruitment.

We contribute to the local economy through:

• Student Success – Supporting career progression, personal growth, and confidence-building.
• Industry Engagement – Meeting regional skill needs and creating job opportunities.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional learning experience across five campuses, supporting career pathways, and economic growth. We are dedicated to fair wages, sustainability, and being a great place to work.

Our involvement in the Lifelong Education Institute supports our College’s ongoing work - in tandem with learners and industry - to deliver the modern skills, courses and careers required to create a thriving economy. HRUC is shaping the future—one learner, one business, and one opportunity at a time.
