The Worthgate Experience

Our award-winning approach works by identifying the individual’s academic needs and aspirations, providing them with a stimulating and modern immersive education environment which allows them to reach their full potential.

Achieving The Best Academic Outcomes

We recognise the importance of a student achieving their university goal. However, we do not only view success by a list of rankings and league tables, but also in helping our students find the right university for them.

Our Campus

Our campus dates back to the early 20^th century with many of our buildings and boarding houses being constructed more recently to suit the changing education needs of 21^st century students.
