School Partnerships
The College works closely with schools, through visits by groups of pupils and teachers, to enhance knowledge of food production and life in the countryside. Simulation and 'taster' courses are available, focusing on the range of landbased sectors covered by the College. Work experience opportunities are provided for school pupils in areas such as the farm, the golf course and in the engineering workshops.

Overseas Liaisons
With the growth and development of the European Union, the College has extended its links into numerous European countries. Many of our full-time courses include an overseas study tour as an integral part of the curriculum. Oatridge has well-established links with France, Ireland, Italy and Holland and students are encouraged to consider work abroad either as a sandwich period or at the end of their studies. Trans-Atlantic links are also being forged with the United States.
