£40 million from Round 2 of the Levelling Up Fund will build a new education campus in Blackpool.
The campus will replace the ageing Blackpool and Fylde College with new state of the art facilities in the town centre.
The Multiversity campus will:
- offer more than 70 courses
- expand the college’s Higher Education offer
- bring new technical and professional learning opportunities to Blackpool
The Multiversity will become an established part of Lancashire’s higher education landscape.
The new courses, developed with Lancaster University, will include automation, mobility and artificial intelligence.
The new curriculum and increased student capacity will help students to learn new skills and provide post-18 progression routes.
