Still time to apply
If you haven’t applied yet, don’t worry. There’s still time to secure your place at Truro and Penwith College for September 2026.
Every year, many students apply later in the process and go on to thrive here. Whether you’ve changed your mind, missed earlier deadlines, or are still deciding, we’re here to help you take the next step.
Courses still available
We still have places available across a wide range of subjects, including:
- A Levels
- T Levels
- AAQs
- IB Diploma
- Vocational courses
- Apprenticeships
If you’re unsure what you want to study, don’t worry. We can help you explore your options.
Why I Chose Truro and Penwith College
We sat down with our Student Ambassadors to track their personal journeys from the very first moment they stepped onto campus as Year 11 students at an Open Day to the confident leaders they have become today.
Our ambassadors discuss the initial transition from school and share exactly how they found their feet in a new environment.
At Truro and Penwith College, we are here to help you find your voice.
Don’t let practical worries hold you back
It’s completely normal to have questions at this stage, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before you apply.
Travel is easier than you think
Students travel to us from across Cornwall every day, with dedicated college buses, public transport and financial support available. Visit our Transport page.
Financial support is available
Help with costs such as travel and school meals may be available through our bursary scheme. Visit our Travel & Bursary Hub
You’re not behind
There are lots of reasons students apply later, including:
- You’re still deciding between sixth form and college
- Your plans have changed
- You didn’t get the outcome you expected elsewhere
- You simply haven’t had the chance to apply yet
Whatever your situation, you’re welcome here and we’ll support you through the process.
I'm really glad I came to College. My lecturers were really supportive. I made really good friends, despite not knowing anyone initially as most of my friends stayed at sixth form.

We’re here to help you decide
Choosing what to do next is a big decision. But you don’t have to make it on your own.
Our team is here to answer your questions, talk through your options and help you feel confident about your next step.
There’s still time but the sooner you apply, the sooner we can support you in securing your place and getting ready for September.
