Trips & Visits

At Rochdale Sixth Form College, you will have the opportunity to take part in an exciting range of academic excursions and activities.

With every subject area committed to offering at least one trip during the two-year period of study, you will have a variety of opportunities to gain experience beyond the classroom.

Our commitment to making extracurricular opportunities accessible for all students is reflected in the way that most trips are at least partly subsidised by the college.
