Wirral Met College is a Further and Higher Education College situated on the Wirral Peninsula, in the north-west of England.

Wirral Met is the largest provider of post 16 learning on the Wirral and is divided into four main Campuses:

The college has invested £21m in refurbishing and building the campuses, including new facilities at the Oval campus, where it supports delivery of Public Services, Sports and Outdoor Education. The campuses at Conway Park and Twelve Quays in the centre of Birkenhead have been refurbished and they support a whole range of vocational education from entry level to higher education.

A further campus was completed at Tower Road in Birkenhead and opened in September 2015, the Wirral Waters campus, of approximately 35,000 square feet (3,300 m²), provides courses focusing on construction.

Wirral Met College, located in the north-west of England, is a state-funded educational institute of further and higher education. It operates through three main campuses in Wirral, two of which are situated in Birkenhead, at a walking distance from the town centre. Its Twelve Quays Campus, which opened in September 2003, offers recreational facilities for students and comprises dance studios, modern library facilities, and art studios. The other campuses of the college are also equipped, providing recreational facilities and educational resources.

Further education at Wirral Met College is designed to prepare students for university education or enable them to acquire necessary skills in their chosen areas, such as engineering, accounting, business, and tourism. Additionally, the college also offers a wide range of English language course for students outside the UK, particularly those, who do not have it as their first language.

The college has partnerships with the University of Chester, the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Central Lancashire.
