Severe Weather

Due to the severe weather, we have taken the decision to close HIVE campus.

BGLZ will be open for exams only, closed for teaching and learning.

All other campuses are open. There may be some local disruption but please bear with us while we prioritise exams.

Overseas Programme

At Coleg Gwent, we believe the world is your classroom. That’s why our Overseas Programme gives learners the chance to step outside of their comfort zone and explore what’s possible, across the globe. 

The programme offers learners a life-changing opportunity to study, train, and work abroad.  

It’s fully funded, thanks to the support of Taith, Turing and, potentially, Erasmus+. That means all travel, training, accommodation, cultural activities and hospitality are covered. 

Where do we go? 

Some of the amazing destinations our learners have travelled to include:
Croatia, France, the USA, Poland, Peru, Spain, Turkey and Italy.  

The mobilities usually last from 3 to 17 days, where learners can expect to: 

  • Train in a subject related to a course 
  • Experience real work placements 
  • Take part in meaningful community projects 
  • Build practical skills through hands-on workshops 
  • Or even, all of the above! 

No two mobilities are the same, but each one is an incredible opportunity to see learning come to life in new ways.  

Destinations are diverse, depending on the aims for the visit, the local partners we’re working with, and the skills we want our learners to develop.  

We encourage our learners to join in everything while abroad to really get to know new cultures and ways of working and learning.
