Coleg Llandrillo (English: Llandrillo College) is a college in north Wales. After its merger in 2012 it became Wales' largest further education college.
The college offers over 4,000 full and part-time courses. Courses range from A levels, International Baccalaureate, BTECs, Modern Apprenticeships and NVQs to Higher Nationals, Foundation Degrees, Honours Degrees and Postgraduate Studies offered in association with the University of Wales, Glyndŵr, Bangor and Cardiff Metropolitan University.
The college (which originally only included the main campus at Rhos-on-Sea) was opened as Llandrillo Technical College by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on 23 June 1965.
The word "Technical" was removed from the name of the college in response to the college's shift towards teaching academic as well as vocational subjects. The name Coleg Llandrillo Cymru was adopted around 2002 and was intended to imply that the College is for the whole of Wales. Since its merger with Coleg Menai, it is now known as Coleg Llandrillo.
Coleg Llandrillo Cymru formally merged with Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor on 1 April 2010. The merged college (which retained the Coleg Llandrillo Cymru name) was located at nine campuses across three counties. Although the colleges had merged, their management and had a central administration. The Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor campuses retained the Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor name.
In April 2012, Coleg Llandrillo Cymru (which included Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor) merged with Coleg Menai to form Grwp Llandrillo Menai. With 34,000 students across four counties it became Wales' largest further education institution. It became known as Coleg Llandrillo.
From early 2014 until September 2015, Coleg Llandrillo developed their own University Centre, called UCCL (or University Centre Coleg Llandrillo). Higher Education and Degree courses are available for over 19s.
The college has a main campus in Rhos-on-Sea, a medium size campus in Rhyl, smaller sites in Denbigh, Abergele and Colwyn Bay, and a specialist business services centre in St Asaph.
