London’s first pop-up college is set to be launched next week.

EnfieldThinks, based in Burleigh Way, Enfield Town, will offer a plethora of learning courses, careers and pastimes when it opens its doors next Tuesday.

The first course will be a two-week language school for GCSE and A-level students.

Enfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for economic development, Cllr Alan Sitkin, said: “This is a brilliant project designed to encourage people of all ages to try different qualifications and to do the subjects traditionally seen as difficult such as science, technology, engineering and maths.

“We want to help students make informed choices and promote the options available to career changers and people re-entering the labour market.

“We also hope to promote the educational options available for retired people and inspire intellectual curiosity amongst Enfield’s residents.”

David Byrne, principal of Barnet and Southgate College said: “Barnet and Southgate College is really excited to be part of this unique venture alongside other education providers in the region.

“The pop-up learning zone is open to anyone, but particularly if you’re at school or college considering your future options. EnfieldThinks will give you a chance to experience potential qualifications, evaluate possible career paths and also get involved with debates, revision workshops and film screenings; it’s a great opportunity to try something new at no cost to the student.”

The project is run by Enfield Council; Birkbeck, University of London; Christian Action Housing Association and supported by the Mayor of London.
