Our Campuses


Bishopsfield Road Campus
Fareham College’s Bishopsfield Road campus provides an outstanding learning environment for the students based here. With £16 million of investment, Fareham’s students have access to excellent facilities, the latest technologies and curriculum-based equipment to support some of the best technical and professional teaching in Hampshire.


CEMAST Campus
Fareham College’s Centre of Excellence in Engineering, Manufacturing and Advanced Skills Training. All Automotive, Engineering and Manufacturing programmes run by Fareham College are delivered at the CEMAST campus, located at the Daedalus airfield in Lee-on-the-Solent. The Centre’s huge contemporary concourse provides an inspiring area in which to work.


CETC Campus
Fareham College’s Civil Engineering Training Centre (CETC) was established in 2017 in response to a county-wide skills shortage believed to be hindering civil engineering growth and expansion in the south of England. CETC is a busy and energetic campus, with constant activity taking place as apprentices learn the essentials of the trade.
