🎤 What led you to studying at BMC?

Not everyone comes to a degree straight from school. Some of us join after years of doing something else entirely — and knowing it's time for a change.

Hear degree student Jane’s story as a spa therapist and single mum, looking for a more sustainable and rewarding career path.

With an open admission policy and family-friendly study hours, we welcome students from many walks of life, ages and backgrounds.

94% of 15–24-year-olds want careers that benefit people, planet, and community.

A young person leaving school in 2025 may work until 2075. Over that time, profound environmental and social change is unavoidable—climate change will shape all our jobs, whether we like it or not.

The good news? A fairer, greener future needs people in every sector—from law and finance to education, farming, retail, and care. Everyone has a meaningful role to play.

Black Mountains College doesn’t just prepare young people for the world of work as it is. We help them find a careers that shape—and thrive in—the world of work as it must become.

A great starting point is our free Find Your Future workshops, running in cities across the UK. In these interactive sessions, we map what we know and don’t know about a climate-impacted future, explore different scenarios we need to prepare for, and imagine positive futures. We work back to the present to see what we can do today, and we connect it all to our skills, interests, and passions to discover our role and how it fits with jobs and organisations.

Curious? Explore our Degree Programme—designed to find your talents and apply them to build a more equitable world within planetary limits 🌌
