Bell College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bell College is a higher education college based in Hamilton and Dumfries in Scotland. The College focuses on four main areas: Business, Health, Science & Technology and Social Studies. It is the only higher education institution in Lanarkshire.
The College was created in 1972, and was initially known as Bell College of Technology. The main campus was constructed in Almada Street, Hamilton. A Memorandum of Understanding between the College and the University of Strathclyde was signed in 1993 to allow the College to offer degree level courses. In 1995, the Lanarkshire and Dumfries & Galloway Colleges of Nursing & Midwifery was amalgamated into Bell College.
The College is currently in discussions with the University of Paisley with regards to a possible merger of the two institutions.
