Cannington College provides exceptional opportunities for practical learning in agriculture, animal care, horticulture, and nuclear engineering. Set in the heart of the Somerset countryside, the college features a 2-hectare working farm, where students gain real-world experience as part of their studies. The cutting-edge Agricultural Innovation Centre further enhances learning, offering access to the latest technologies and industry practices. On-site residential accommodation is also available, creating a supportive and immersive student experience.

The college is also home to the National College for Nuclear, a state-of-the-art training facility supporting the nuclear and energy sectors.
