Successful Open Evenings

Colchester Institute opened its doors to over 3,000 prospective students and their families for their Autumn Term Open Events. 

The events gave visitors the chance to explore the College’s campus and facilities, meet staff and current students, and discover the wide range of study options available – from T Levels and Apprenticeships to Full Time Vocational courses and Adult Learning opportunities. 

Colchester Institute will be hosting three further Open Events in the coming months: 

  • Saturday 8th November, 10am–12pm at the Braintree Campus 
  • Tuesday 20th January 2026, 5pm–7pm at the Braintree Campus 
  • Thursday 22nd January 2026, 5pm–8pm at the Colchester Campus 

These events are designed to help prospective students find out more about the pathways on offer, experience the environment at Colchester Institute and get answers to any questions they may have about their next steps. 

Alison Andreas, Principal and Chief Executive at Colchester Institute, said “We were thrilled to see so many prospective students exploring what Colchester Institute has to offer. Our open events are a fantastic way for young people and adults alike to discover the many different career and learning opportunities available to them, and to picture themselves as part of our busy, vibrant community.” 

Colchester Institute looks forward to welcoming more visitors at its upcoming open events.
