About Lancaster & Morecambe College
High quality technical, vocational and professional development programmes have always been at the very heart of the College, meeting the needs of young people, adults and employers.
The College serves communities across North Lancashire, South Cumbria and North Yorkshire in the north west of England, with a broad education and business development offer.
We continue to invest and improve the facilities on campus to enable students to maximise their learning, this includes the multi-million pound investment in industry standard facilities for Construction and Hair & Beauty, as well as new Music and Media facilities and student Lounge area.
The College provides students with the opportunity to enter and progress through various levels of study. Students who progress from our College are ‘work ready’. We work closely with industry to help shape the most appropriate courses as we strive to provide our students with the best possible chance of progression in the future, while making sure they fully enjoy their time at College.
Our students also contribute to the wider community in a variety of ways, through fundraising and their involvement in work-based learning, as well as the considerable hours of vital volunteering work they undertake with a range of age groups throughout our area.
We offer:
- Apprenticeships & Traineeships

International Mobility
Lancaster & Morecambe College have been running European work experience projects for over a decade and were one of the first colleges in the UK to receive the Leonardo Certificate in Quality for Mobility. This was in recognition for our commitment to offering high quality European work placements and developing a strategic approach to embedding this activity across the curriculum.
International Projects have played an increasingly important role in the personal and professional development of students and staff as well as the wider community. We have used past projects to research, develop and implement many initiatives into mainstream practice. The core activities of the college are supported by these projects and they also allow us to work locally, regionally, nationally and internationally on positive initiatives.

One of the priorities of the International team is to share Erasmus+ projects and activities across the whole College and embed best practice across the curriculum in a sustainable way. The interdisciplinary team has a vast experience of coordinating International projects.
LMC is an accredited Erasmus+ Volunteer hosting organisation. Currently, we are hosting long-term volunteers from Spain, Ukraine, and Slovakia.
We are always developing strong partnerships in Youth and KA1 Mobility, Adult, VET and Youth Education, KA2 Strategic Partnerships and Centralised actions, and welcome invitations to participate in larger scale research projects such as H2020.
