Petroc originates from the mergers of East Devon College and North Devon College on 1 August 2008. On 23 September 2009, as a result of a re-branding scheme, the merged colleges were renamed, amidst some controversy amongst both current and former staff and students, and the local press, as Petroc.
The Barnstaple campus, formerly part of North Devon College, is a large campus situated on Sticklepath Hill, Barnstaple. It overlooks the town with panoramic views across the estuary of the River Taw.
The Tiverton campus, formerly East Devon College, is a major contributor to the Tiverton (Devon) education facilitation and was independent until the merger with North Devon College on 1 August 2008.
The college has additional sites in Honiton (part of pre-merger EDC), Bude and Holsworthy (both part of pre-merger NDC) There are links with Exmouth via the E2E programme and Exeter via the Music Academy (both inherited from East Devon College). [1]
The Barnstaple campus operates an internal college radio service, Acorn FM, under a Long term Restricted Service Licence on 87.7 MHz.
