Where are lessons at BMC taught?

Our Further Education courses generally take place at Troed-yr-Harn or Unit 5 in Talgarth, making use of our Pottery Studio as a Classroom, large barn, and, of course, the surrounding outdoors including many fields and ancient woodlands. We also use other local woodlands as regular venues.

Our Degree in Sustainable Futures will be taught across various locations, using a distributed campus model. Lessons will mainly be taught at our new teaching venue at The Old School, along with Unit 5, and Troed-yr-Harn farm to undertake field work from time to time. We will also use other local, community venues throughout your course.
