The main campus at London Road.

Shrewsbury College is a further education college located in Shrewsbury in the county of Shropshire, England.

The College is based on one campus on London Road. The College has working environments for students including a commercial restaurant, Origins, a commercial salon, Evolve and a student zone including a new Student Learning Centre and The Hub.

The College is the main provider of vocational education in the county and has a full range of full-time and part-time course available in the full range of subject areas. In May 2012 Shrewsbury College was named by The National Data Service as the highest placed general FE college in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Staffordshire based on their success rates for young students. In summer 2014 it was rated Good by Ofsted.

Students can now combine different vocational subjects at Level 2 (e.g. Sport and Business) and can complement their courses at Level 3 with A Levels too. Shrewsbury College is constantly working to create new Higher Education (HE) options and Professional Development courses for adults and from September 2015, the College will receive ongoing funding from the Higher Education Council for England to enable it to continue to improve its HE offer. The College has recently undergone a significant estates investment programme with over £15m being spent to create a new campus at London Road.^[2]

The college is a founder member of the Staffordshire University Regional Federation (SURF Consortium). Every year, the college holds a Higher Awards Ceremony in St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury.
