At Black Mountains College in Talgarth, we offer vocational courses and a unique degree programme designed to equip you with the skills and experience for a rewarding, sustainable career.
A Degree for Real-World Impact
Our BA (Hons) Sustainable Futures: Arts, Ecology and Systems Change is for anyone who wants their education to tackle today’s social and environmental challenges. This isn’t just theory—it’s about creative, practical solutions that combine arts, ecology, and systems thinking. You’ll learn in classrooms, outdoors, and in community settings, making your education directly relevant to the world around you.
Flexible, Local, and Accessible
Imagine studying a world-class programme right on your doorstep. Our courses are designed with your schedule in mind: full-time but condensed into just three days a week (9:30am–2:30pm), so you can balance study with work, family, or other commitments. And yes—student finance is available for older students too!
We believe education should be open to everyone. That’s why we use an open admissions approach, valuing your life experience, passion, and commitment as much as grades. Applications are assessed through portfolios, interviews, and your unique background. If you’re thoughtful, motivated, and eager to drive positive change, we want to hear from you.
Applications for September 2026 are open until the end of summer. Come and see if this is for you!
